I mentioned above that I find it extremely useful because we have an awkward mix of 2-space indent and 4-space indent files (and files that mix the two), and modelines fix that specific problem. Similarly, Gecko style guidelines mandate 80 char lines, while SpiderMonkey guidelines mandate 99 char lines. Perhaps I'm modifying a wider range of files than some people, so this problem affects me more. Or is there some other solution to this problem of inconsistent style guidelines that I'm unaware of?
