Also, "it should be 4 spaces" is a matter of
opinion--everyone likes
different tab widths depending on their preferences and monitor size.

"you should make no assumptions" appears to support Chad's statement.
However, I'm pretty sure that in reality, many people assume a width of
4. I've definitely seen funky tab-plus-space indentations that support
that theory.
