How is any generic indentation system supposed to know that the "i" on
line 2 is supposed to line up with the "i" on line 1?
It assumes the input is fixed-width, and that leading white space is intended to indent with respect to previous lines. Although it'd be some work to get Emacs to do this, I don't offhand see any algorithmic problem here.
