It depends what you want to do with the geometry in your shaders. The tangent 
is usually needed as part of normal mapping. If your shaders don't do that, 
then you may not need the tangent vectors. It's up to you to decide what 
vertex attributes you need to cater for what you want to do in your shaders.
