I think that would be useful the possibility to set the automatic formatter to use only tabs instead of spaces when it format the rhtml files. The motivation is quite simple, more spaces = more load for the user when she'll load the page...and that's just for the code formatting, something she wouldn't care. so tabs would be better in that case, they keeps the formatting, but give a less load to the pages.
