Hi, that's a good idea,
going forward : 
- what about defining at the same time if the tab are allowed/recommended ? 
Many files are mixing tabs and spaces for indentation, if your editor uses a 
different setting than the writer's then code it's harder to read ... Using 
only spaces makes the code appear similar on any editor so that's my perfered 
solution ;) 
- the spaces at end of line could be avoided too... 

I think adding those recommendations  to TEP3  would be nice. 

Cheers 
Aurelien
