Well, arguably it makes a bit more sense than Knuth's choice of a
magstep being a factor of 1.2.  Because the powers of 2^{1:12} as the
basis of half a magstep are known to be close enough for practical
purposes to a variety of small-integer-based ratios.

3:2?  Try font-size 3.5.  4:3?  Try font-size 2.5.  5:4? How about
font-size 2?

Eat your heart out, Don: there's music in _our_ choice.
