As long as you are asking for input...

I would like to see a center line for the window (what you are 
calling "near") that is the spacing of the RMM mounts (is that 
62.5mm?) and then your Fn lines on BOTH sides of that.

The reasoning for this is that on occasion I will mount with 
objects coming through the window (but not violating the 
frame). In those cases the maximum deviation would be less 
than 2.whatever from the near point. If you accept 2.7mm for 
maximum deviation and your closest object is at the window 
then infinity can be 2.7 mm from the "near" line. However if 
you allow an object to come through the window then your 
closest object would be say 0.7 mm from the "near" line and 
your infinity could only be 2.0 mm from the "near" line. Does 
this make sense?

That's all for now,
