John, > This is a real small point
No point is small when you apply it hundreds of times a day. I spent quite a bit of time on this element and ended up allowing conversion from tabs to spaces and the reverse. Who knows what you'll find in the world of ASCII. Historically, Tabs were stops on the typewriter carriage, a control function. This Tabs = Spaces thing came about largely because of cursor bondage. So how do YOU think of a Tab key? Is it a data key or a control key? Internally, I treat Tab (and Shift Tab) as a navigation (control) key instead of pumping in lots of spaces. It seems more useful that way. But then Sudden View doesn't have "cursor bondage" to worry about.
