I am fine with tabs or spaces for indentation. I am NOT fine with a mixture of the two. From the previous modeline, I assumed that the intent was a tab-based indent. You are free to change the tabstop to view the file, but if you edit the file using a 'shiftwidth' and 'tabstop' value that differ, the indentation will become a mixture of tabs and spaces, so that changing tabstop no longer looks right.
Personal preferences aside, the syntax/2html.vim looks like a correct softtabstop=2 to me; I use this setting all the time, and Vim supports it well. (Cp. :help 'softtabstop'). The only downside is that you should keep ts=8, and not mess with 'shiftwidth' and related settings while editing. In that regard, it's less flexible than a pure tab or space-indented format, you're right.
