It was the suggestion that the PSR coding standards should be supported by core 
that brought this up. It does not make it right and it is totally illogical to 
be using a different standard JUST for one type of file over the rest? *IF* 
spaces is adopted as the official standard, then EVERY file in the core project 
needs to be rewritten - and that is just as insane? This does need sorting out, 
and perhaps convincing FIR that the CORE coding standards should be followed 
properly is the right way forward? Certainly something is wrong here and with 
libraries now looking to switch FROM tabbed files just because another defacto 
standard is being pushed seems just as wrong?

I don't accept that 'userland can work to a different standard' is a realistic 
state of play. There should either be a single documented standard - or anarchy?
