Yep, it would be nice to honour them too, since a number of the files  
I edit (from when I used to use XEmacs) do have settings stashed away  
like that.

But in the absence of any obvious clues like that, some heuristic to  
figure it out (then maybe highlighting the tabs indicator in the  
status bar in red or something?) would be really useful.

Then again, nothing could possibly guess the correct indentation for  
the dodgy piece of HTML I'm editing just now, which has a mixture of  
tabs, spaces (varying amounts of indentation at that!).  I suppose  
that's what happens when you let the marketing folks near the web  
site...!
