> I must admit that I do not understand WebKit's predilection for long lines.  I assumed that people producing long lines were not using Emacs.  But I am fine putting in some other value.

I would say either 180 or having no maximum.  At least in vim it can sometimes be annoying when the editor folds a pre-existing line when you modify it. Perosonally, I'm not a fan of long lines either, but the source contains a lot of code with very long lines.

> That is the amount that TAB characters are interpreted as.  TAB characters are not usually present in WK, but where they are, as in Makefiles, they should probably be represented as 8 characters wide.  It is the default though, so it can probably be elided.

You can probably just omit it. The only place we have tab characters is in our automake files.

I think it'd be best if an emacs user gives the final r+. :)
