I don't see anything in the coding standards, but maybe I've missed
something.

Avoiding tab characters makes patches read normally and avoids
problems with different tab sizes. And all the popular editors can be
configured to make the 'tab' command use either. Most of the other
Free software projects I know of have a convention of using spaces.
