This is not the same issue as the PHP/HTML issue. Some people might  
prefer the simpler subset of rules that the basic Javascript syntax  
has. They should be sorted close to eachother because they are related  
and are both viable choices.

I agree. Duplication of the 2 rules in a repository item that make up  
the leading space scopes could be a maintenance issue.

But to paraphrase another great member of this community... Something  
like leading space scopes isn't really a moving target, I think we can  
work out a solid repository item for them and not have it change much.  
What I'd recommend is a repository item that can be duplicated as  
needed, and since it's a single 'item' it can be kept updated easily.  
Once we have a global repository in TM2 it can be moved there. But  
ideally…

This does need to be a TextMate, E-texteditor & InType application  
side feature.
And as soon as it's available in TextMate I'll be the first person to  
rip it out of every syntax in the repo.

How do you have something like that present but disabled?
If it's in the syntax then it's present. If you can see it in your  
code then it's present in your theme.
If you don't like it to be colored, then either modify your theme or  
switch to a different one.
If you have no bundle items or themes that make use of those scopes,  
then they will never effect you.
