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.
I officially redact my bogus claim that it "should" be 4 spaces.
However, we certainly shouldn't default to 8!
(moral authority provided by:
Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy
Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be
the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be
three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that
thou then proceed to three. *Five is right out.* Once the number three,
being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand
Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight,
shall snuff it.)
