I'm using (Neo)Vi(m), where whether HTs or spaces are inserted depends upon the format, but is easily changeable (:set [no]expandtab or :set [no]et). I don't actually know about many other editors. Do you have any data to back this up? I'll go looking myself as well, but if it turns out that HTs are uncommon then we may be able to replace them with 4 spaces (of course, that opens up the question of what happens when the number of spaces on a table line is not a multiple of 4, but we can figure that out). ~aravk | ~nothien
