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!
(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.)
