Would the following be considered a proper indentation?
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>x</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
This is the HTML generated for "** x" in xwiki/2.0. I think we should do
the same in the WYSIWYG. Of course for this I'll have to overwrite the
default list and indent/outdent support which currently generates
invalid HTML for nested lists. Indent would then not only visually move
the list item to the left but down also.

Yes, spaces would be inserted at the caret position.

* Tab outside a list item or table cell inserts 4 spaces at the caret
position or in place of the current selection (inside a span with no
styles applied to it; I don't understand why they use a span since if
you delete the spaces the empty span remains as HTML garbage)
* Shift+Tab moves the focus out of the rich text area to the previous
focusable element.. :|
* [Shift+]Tab inside a table cell behaves as in Open Office. The
selected text (if any) is not deleted.
* Tab at the beginning of the first _empty_ list item indents the list
using style="margin-left: 40px"; each Tab increases the left margin with
40px.. :| Shift+Tab removes the list.. :|
* Tab inside a list item no matching the previous case indents the list
item. Even in the middle of the text :|. Shift+Tab outdents. The
selection is not cleared.
* If the selection spans across more list items, but not all, then Tab
indents those list items. Shift+Tab outdents. Selection is not cleared.
* if the selection spans across all list items from a list then pressing
Tab indents that list using CSS as previously described. Shift+Tab
removes the list if the left margin is 120px.. :|
* if the selection spans across more table cells then pressing a Tab
deletes the selected text and inserts 4 spaces in the cell where the
selection started :| Shift+Tab moves the focus out of the rich text area
to the previous focusable element.. :|

Each could easily have their own custom behavior. But let's decide first
for paragraphs, list items and table cells.

It depends on the action taken:
* Insert: deletes the selected text and places the inserted text where
the selection started.
* Indent: keeps the selection.
* Navigate: you have to collapse the selection in order to move the caret.
