No

Maybe, but you are correct that only one workspace may be open at once.

This would require being able to open two workspaces at once which is 
not now possible.  Multiple workspaces open at once is a good feature 
which I requested some time ago.  It would also be useful to allow 
differing combinations of interests to be used.  For example, I would 
like to be able to keep open my Stocks workspace with either my Mac 
Sites or Newspapers workspace.  Unfortunately that is not possible now.

Each workspace can have multiple windows open at once.  Each window can 
have multiple tabs.  In the Workspaces window you can transfer windows 
from one workspace to another.  OmniWeb has a lot of features that are 
not immediately apparent.  Keep playing around with it and I predict 
soon you will happily be $30 poorer.  ;-)
