Don't particularly care. I'm agnostic on the issue, as long as Xemacs works
correctly :-)
For what it's worth, style(9) says
Do not add whitespace at the end of a line, and only use tabs followed by
spaces to form the indentation. Do not use more spaces than a tab will
produce and do not use spaces in front of tabs.
So a 10 character indent is one tab plus two spaces, not 10 spaces. That
seems to be what Xemacs does by default.
