Well, whatever it was, I was confused by your original post, where you seemed to be saying that the existence of fixed-width numerals was an "aberration".
I thought David was suggesting that the equal height numerals were the newcomers. Comrie seemed to think (c.1940) that they were an objectionable American innovation. I am interested in the suggestion that they were originally intended for titles. Publishers of books of mathematical tables would presumably want to use the smallest characters that were still legible enough not to cause eye-strain or misreading.
