So which to go with? Tabs. It's also what the example vim settings, and the default emacs settings, do. Of course, the files don't all necessarily represent that. However, people wanting to do wholesale changes should at least talk to the doc people before deciding on their own. (FWIW, I seem to recall the tabs thing being accepted, after I proposed it. I'll try to remember to codify it later, when I have more than seconds between meetings and connectivity problems.)
