Hi,

I've seen a lot of messages about this topic, and I still don't agree
with this indentation standard. Some like 4 spaces indenting and
others like 8 spaces indenting.
With tabs, anybody can configure its own software to make it look as
he wants to. This can't be done with spaces.
With tabs, we save 3 characters per indentation ... ;)
Anyway, I know I won't change anything with my humble opinion about
it, but this should be very carrefully explained in the Coding
Standard.
I've heard to much PEAR beginners say that this standard is bad and
abandon it just because of the indenting part ... :(
