I was discussing this with someone last night. A notebook is
inappropriate because the underlying metaphor is a bunch of small notes
on a bulletin board.

These aren't open docs as such. They are tiny notes, perhaps up to 20
or so visible at a time.

I'm thinking of just having real windows for them, but I hate losing the
"containment" of the notes.
