This looks kind of weird:

-*.sgml        whitespace=space-before-tab,trailing-space,tab-in-indent
-*.x[ms]l    whitespace=space-before-tab,trailing-space,tab-in-indent
+*.py        whitespace=space-before-tab,trailing-space,tab-in-indent,tabwidth=4
+*.sgml        whitespace=space-before-tab,trailing-space,tab-in-indent,tabwidth=1
+*.xml        whitespace=space-before-tab,trailing-space,tab-in-indent,tabwidth=1
+*.xsl        whitespace=space-before-tab,trailing-space,tab-in-indent,tabwidth=2

Why add tabwidth settings to files that are not supposed to contain tabs?
