keeping tabstops intact when exporting an rtf?

I believe RTF supports column widths, specified in twips if memory serves.

When the tabstops are set only at the field level, it's debatable as to 
whether those should be included in rtfText.

But when the tabstops are set at the paragraph level, as we can do in 
v5.5.4 and later, IMO those should definitely be included in the output 
rtfText.

It seems that currently neither form of tabstops affects the rtfText of 
a field.

Care to submit an enhancement request for that?
