Bear in mind that all these nifty numbers hardly make any sense at all in the
real world. I know of at least two models of a typesetter from the same
manufacturer which have an apparently a different size for a point. This is not
a big deal, since it is marginal. However, it starts to become annoying when
you want to combine output of both versions in one document. The linelength
will vary enough to be noticable.
