I already started that a long time ago, I already did the following steps:

1> Removed the old wrong TNotebook
2> Created a new correct TNotebook
3> Today I moved TCustomNotebook from ExtCtrls to ComCtrls

I don't understand what you mean here. TPageControl is not implemented
like in Delphi, it does not inherit from the same control as
TTabControl in the LCL.

My statement is correct: In the LCL TCustomNotebook is the same as
TPageControl. Note that TPageControl is unrelated to TTabControl in
the LCL

TCustomNotebook does not exist in Delphi.

See: http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphiAndcpp2009/HelpUpdate2/EN/html/delphivclwin32/ComCtrls_TPageControl.html

It seams that you are proposing to change that, I think the idea is
interresting, fixing the object hierarchy to be the same as in Delphi.
But be prepared for a lot of work =)
