key bindings aren't sufficient, in fact ^G was being pasted into the
document by the text importer. We never want the abiword exporter
to write bogus documents.
I just committed a fix which explicitly allows ^I to be written
to the document. tab is defined as UCS_TAB; I just checked af_Types.h
and we don't define any other < 32 characters, so we should be fine.
If we rerelease we get a fix for 2313 included too.
