@fantasai What about saying that `tab-size` applies to inlines, but `<number>` values refer to the space character’s advance width of the block container? This would still give authors more freedom to change the `tab-size` value in inlines, and would be closer to existing implementations, while still avoiding that pitfall when changing the font? Though current implementations do break the alignment when the font changes.
