So, on one of those dual-led AC optos, it would be better to interrupt on the just-before-zero edge, so that all the switching happens near the zero? Or on the rising edge, to avoid any chance of glitches? Sigh, yet another circuit to work up and get posted for review. And/or something to prototype and see how wide those pulses are.
