Matt: They are unitless values and they represent the denominator portion of a representative fraction. So:
MAXSCALE 24000 refers to a scale 1:24,000 and so on. It's a tad backwards (e.g. 100000 > 24000, but 1/100,000 < 1/24,000) as I'm reminded every once and a while, but you get used to it quickly.
