This doesn't read like a proper English sentence to me. In Microsoft Word, 
there's a spinner control titled "Default tab stops:", which I suppose should 
be read as, for example: "Default tab stops every 0.5 cm".

As for naming the API, I suggest something like `defaultTabWidth` or 
`defaultWidth` (the word "tab" doesn't need to be repeated, as it's declared in 
a class named `TabStopPolicy`).
