There is make check target in doc/src/sgml/ that is supposed to catch
this. But it's probably hard to remember to run that.
One thing I was thinking of was that we could add a global make
maintainer-check target (a name I picked up from other projects) which
would run various source code sanity checks. Besides the SGML tabs
issue, my favourite would be duplicate_oids. Maybe if we could find a
third use case, we'd have a quorum for implementing this.
