I'll bite: why would indents made up of spaces rather than tabs be a bad
thing?

I recently swapped to spaces instead of tabs for consistency reasons
(the PEAR project requires it in their coding standards documentation).
Sure in html files it adds a few extra bytes, but the bulk of the
programs I'm working never leave the server.

Does it really matter as long as one is consistent?

Cheers
Andrew
