That's exactly what I'm suggesting, yes.

That could be acceptable, tho so far all the indentation is controlled
by the rules-function, so it makes sense to keep it that way rather than
to introduce a variable.  Also, if it's done in the rules-function, the
function may return different results depending on context.

This approach would work if the requirement is very specific to one
particular major mode, but in this case, it seems to be a fairly
common one.
