Agreed, most of my style sheets have a style like

.tab {
         margin-left : 2em;
         margin-right : 2em;
}

which is used as <p class="tab">Indent this stuff.</p>

and sometimes I will specify several levels of tab by

.tab1 {
         margin-left : 4em;
         margin-right : 4em;
}

for a deeper indent.
