That would seem to me to be an argument againt tab stop based layout.

Tab stops are really a technical solution to the problem of doing
layout on a mechanical typewriter.

As all ready noted, the browser developers rejected them in favour
of tables, by sidelining HTML 3.0 and producing what had to be reverse
engineered into HTML 3.2.
