Not to question what you say, but is tabstop really necessary? If we have no tabs in the code, I think that part can be avoided.It's always set anyway, with default value 8. It just defines how tab stops are placed (at every fourth character, in Caolán's example). With expandtab, no real tab character inserted if you hit Tab key--it's converted to appropriate number of spaces. See :help 'et' and :help 'ts' for details.
That's my point - I think if we (ideally) don't have tabs in the code then tabstop should not be necessary. And if for some reason we have some, then it's way easier to spot those if ts is not set to a lower value IMHO. It's a minor thing, but if we are going to have it in the footer of every source file, then I would say it's important. :)
