You can use `M-x report-emacs-bug' to submit an enhancement request.  If 
enriched mode couples indenting text with coloring it, and the two cannot be 
dissociated, that sounds like something that could be improved.

It's best to give a complete and simple recipe to repro the problematic 
behavior, starting from `emacs -Q'.
