Then sourcecode languages that require (such as Makefiles) them cannot 
appear in ietf documents.

If it is only that one, then it probably isn't a big issue. I can't 
offhand think of any others where that is a problem. (Where there is a 
semantic difference between a space and a tab, and where there isn't 
some way to escape a tab when you need to.)
