% but Mosaic uses proportional fonts for non-PRE things, and note that
% PRE can contain other tags...
% and also that once people ehave tabs in <PRE> they'll want them everywhere.

I *hate* tabs, I always indent with spaces - especially because I think that
the optimad tab width should be 3 :-)

But what about a logical (i.e., not character based) tab, like the one in LaTeX
\tabbing environment? it could be interesting even for proportional fonts, if
used sparingly, since many times a table is too much but some form of
formatting should have place.

Anyway, I can live without it - it's just a suggestion.
