Perhaps the tab stops and left/right/first-line story margins should
snap to eachother, and to the left/right physical margins. Snapping
is going to be pretty essential anyway as there is nothing more annoying
than not being able to easily set the first line margin to an
indented story margin.

Is there going to be some way to enter these numerically? Or say
"I want tabs every inch"?
