This sounds to me like you should just use spaces for indentation, and 
leave out tabs.  The point of the recommendation sounds like a way to 
make sure that if some use tabs, but everyone sets tabs to expand to 8 
characters, people will still have the same 'view' of the source.  But 
sticking to spaces should solve things while remaining within these 
guidelines.
