Also, why be forced to 2/4 spaces of indentation when a tab can be dynamically set?

Because it doesn't really matter which you choose, as long as you choose one. By and large, PHP projects have settled on four spaces. There's a lot to be said for not picking something different, especially if you value contributors :)

There are a number of tools around that'll check (and even fix) code in this style automatically. e.g. http://cs.sensiolabs.org/
