I agree. The number of spaces for indentation is completely irrelevant in a style guide as it can be configured in the editor on a personal basis.

  No it's not, because it's not just an editor configuration, it's something in the code structure. People with different indentation working on the same files is a problem, so it's really relevant to try to set a standart about this, at least for open source project.

    Yes, the code is structured with tab characters, so there is no different indentation. Only different renderings of the same semantic characters.

      which lead to very useless and annoying conflict and different coding style in same files
