I think we shouldn't have a problem with conflicts as long as we all
agree to use tabs, or all agree to uses spaces.
Personally, I prefer spaces for two reasons:
* People (like me ;o) often set their tab-widths to funny values, so
if you write your code with your tab-width set to 8, it might look
totally different to someone whose tab-width is set to 4 (for
instance, your LET clauses stop lining up).
* (more selfishly) I've got some code that highlights lines that are
longer than 79 characters (because I prefer lines to be short), and
because tabs are counted as a single character, this code doesn't
work properly.
Of course, this last point is my problem, and I can always fix the code
if it comes to that :o)
I'm happy as long as we all agree on which scheme to use--I'm not going
to argue about this.

Yep, absolutely. Otherwise I'm going to have to write my own major mode
for modifying xtla code--I use emacs so I don't have to manually format
code!
