<div>1) Why is the default tab width 2359296 instead of a simple
number? for example if I want to let users select a tab width how
should that number be mapped to something understandable to a user.</div>

I can answer this one... 2359296 is a simple number, once you realize
it is a Fixed value rather than an integer. If you divide it by 2 to
the power 16, you get exactly 36.0. That many points is half an inch.<br>
