I believe this is not the right thing to do.  First, my original
complaint towards kaiw@ was a mistake on my behalf: I miscalculated
characters and fell under impression alignment was wrong regardless of
email two-space padding (bde@ corrected me on this).  Second, I think
blindly converting tabs to spaces would bring even more mess to
alignment than we happen to have now.  I guess that the best we can do
here is to take this occasion for chance to remind all of us that tags
values should be aligned properly... using tabs.
