Actually, I would have said prefer 2 spaces, allow 4. I prefer 2 spaces for all xml files for exactly the reason you stated - the elements can be long and awkward to wrap. When you need to add something to the pom and it becomes too long it means you have to respace the whole file which generates a lot of noise in the diff.
