proper css formatting

I am brand new to CSS and cannot find the answer to this question elsewhere.

Is this formatting valid?

(It is used in an external CSS file)

body {
	background-color: #87CEFA 	;
	background-image: none 		;
	background: 	#87CEFA 	;
	margin-left: 	1cm 		;
	margin-right: 	1cm 		;
	}

I find it much easier to read/edit/debug when written in this fashion (i.e.
everything tab aligned).

Thanks!
