For the devs: System plugin nesting. Komento in a tab

I'm trying to effectively create the mediawiki-style UI where the article displays in an active tab, and the comments/discussion appear in a second tab rather than at the end of the article (I attached 2 screenshots, faked by dragging markup into different context in Chrome inspector.) I figured that since Komento is appended right into the end article, this wouldn't be a big deal. I found a system plugin called "Tabs" by NoNumber that lets you define the tabs with delimited in-article code like {tab 1} text {tab2} text

But the clincher is that it requires a {/tabs} to close the containing div. Since this is in the article, it presents a nesting issue. Is there a Joomla event handler used by Komento that I can use to accomplish this? I'm not familiar enough with how multiple system and content plugins are sequentially handled to come up with a plan.

Thanks for any help.
