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.
I officially redact my bogus claim that it "should" be 4 spaces. However, we certainly shouldn't default to 8!
I use 8 :P
(Seriously though, everything looks so crunched up with 4 space tab width... Makes me claustrophobic!)
