they look all good to me. One comment about 29: should that be set if
digits have different widths? What use is this value in this case?
Also is it really worth having at all? I mean this is one value which
can be reasonably measured by TeX itself (in contrast to most of the
others)

another question: what happened to the proposal of a "suggested
baselineskip value"?
