Indenting HTML code makes it easier to read and thus easier to maintain later. But some people feel that adding indents can increase the size of pages by adding in white space that isn't used on the page. Personally, I feel that it's important to have some indenting, so that the HTML is easier to read, but putting in a 4-space indent for every nested tag is a bit of overkill as well.
