It's not so simple. Guess why it took me more than a year to implement 
usable docking - it's not a matter of implementation, but a matter of 
discussions what is *allowed* to change in a poor interface, and what 
additional LCL/Delphi incompatibilities already have been introduced and 
must be respected by all new code. It's almost impossible to replace an 
inappropriate implementation by a better model, because some existing 
code *could* be broken by such an change - unless such a suggestion 
comes from a core developer, who simply changes his existing code.
