There no need to agree -- tabs are 8 spaces by definition. It's standard. As for the indentation size, I think it's time to agree on a size. It seems to me that most of the code is indented to 4 spaces. My very first contributions were indented to 2 spaces, but I now think that's a very bad idea, and I have since fixed those to 4 spaces.
It really helps to have consisten indentation when reading the code, (it's _much_ easier for the eye to identify patterns this way). Are there any objections to having the code indented to 4 spaces? (BTW, I'm not suggesting on agreeing where to but the curly brackets, I know that one's a stickler! :))
