Please note that this is not called "tab-width".  `tab-width' is the
amount of spaces a tab character (\t) is displayed with.

Note that `standard-indent' is the value used for `increase-left-margin'
et al.  Other modes usually don't inherit its value.  So you need to
look inside the package (and its dependencies) for the appropriate variables.

I don't know about nxhtml-mode, but nxml-mode uses `nxml-child-indent'.
