Many people use tabs as a task queue. Particularly for sites like HN: someone sees several interesting things but doesn't have time for it right now - he opens it in a tab.
Just because tabs were meant for something else doesn't mean they shouldn't be used for this. If people use tabs this way, then by all means provide a feature to make it work better for this use.
I should point out that there really isn't anything good for this task other than tabs. You might say bookmarks, I say no. Until bookmarks (or some other feature) have a way to separate permanent bookmarks (like a site you frequently reference) from a temorary one (like the article you want to get back to soon) as well as the ability to very quickly remove the bookmark once you're done with it, tabs (or windows for those that have competent window managers) are the best solution right now.
