Follow-up Comment #3:
[comment #2 comment #2:]
> In general, default values should be reasonable, and users should be able to
assume that they can safely use the defaults unless they have reason to
override them.
Agreed.
> Thus it's well worth pointing out in the documentation that ms defaults to
11/12 solely for back compatibility, but that this value matches no real-world
typesetting practice.
Ooh, burn. But, yes, it's worth documenting.
> For conventional typesetting the user should set this value to 1.
Okay. This can be suggested as well.
We haven't heard from Kurt on this. He, Ingo, Colin, and Bertrand all seem to
have been eaten by the New Year... <fearful emoji>
I'll proceed, so we can regard this item as "in progress", but I'd still like
to hear back from Kurt.
