Anyway, for team projects this is different.  A common style guideline
would not hurt IMO.  By definition this will imply a compromise, in
which some parties have to budge.

IMO a no-tabs policy is sane for teams.  Otherwise you easily get a mix
of tabs and spaces even in individual files.  This is horrible.
