Decimal Tabs

I notice that NSTextTab now (10.2) supports NSDecimalTabStopType. In 10.1.5
that was not the case.

I am building an attributed string to feed an off-screen view, which I am
then printing. The printout includes columns of decimal numbers.

I have not yet upgraded to Jaguar (installing this weekend, probably). So I
have two questions:

1. Can anyone suggest an approach for simulating a decimal tab in paragraph
style in an attributed string? (10.1.5 does not support NSRightTabStopType
either, so scratch that idea).

2. If I use an NSDecimalTabStopType and compile my app using the 10.2 dev
tools, what happens when someone fires up my app in 10.1.x? My guess is
that the tab would be treated as a generic (left) tab, as is the case when
the app is compiled under 10.1.5. Does anyone know?
