Are you sure you're talking about hard tabs?  Or indentation?  It's
pretty common to want code indented at 4 chars., but setting the
display of <ht> to anything other than its historical value of 8
characters is a curse to anyone who will have maintain the code in the
future (and is the reason why people shouldn't be inserting <ht>'s for
purposes of indentation).
