The bread's gone moldy.

Personally, I use M-TAB completion in the To|Cc etc headers (from
BBDB).  So, for me at least, rebinding TAB wouldn't cause me any
suffering. 

But really, when you are in the middle of editing some text, a TAB
should be a TAB.  Not some other fancy thing.  And most people expect
their TABs to be consistent.
