I hope you will use GNU style (2-space) indenting. GNU style indenting doesn't use 2-spaces actually. It is a mixture of tabs and spaces. If you have 2*8 spaces, then that is replaced with a tab. If you have (2*8)+4 spaces, then this is replaced by a tab and four spaces. It isn't written in the GCS, but this is what Emacs does by default which is basically the canonical reference.
You're right although the real reference for GNU standards is http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Formatting.html#Formatting Nevertheless, avoiding tabs is best for reasons that should now be obvious. I'm sure there are plenty in the tla code, not least in the code I wrote before I learned of the Emacs setting to avoid them. -t
