For indent-line, it might be OK, although it suffers from the problem
that indent-for-tab-command doesn't necessarily indent the current line.
For comment-region, the problem is worse because as long as
transient-mark-mode is off, comment-dwim does not do comment-region.
Those DWIMish bindings (TAB, M-;) are problematic in this situation
because the menu entry text cannot faithfully describe the behavior.

Indeed.

So are you suggesting to put TAB on both "indent line" and "indent
region"?
