Hear, hear. Happiness is a well-defined stereo window!

However, it's clear that one size of stereo hat does /not/ fit all. 
In my couple of years of stereo involvement, I've gone from 
thinking that window violations = automatic aesthetic 
disqualification = anathema, to a more tolerant appreciation.

On the one hand there's "project 2x2x2 as received from the 
photofinisher," which often presents window violations. On the 
other, there are people who love precisely setting windows, and 
it's been said that very tiny adjustments can make a very big 
difference in how a view is perceived and appreciated. Mightn't 
these two truths tell a similar story, despite the risk of retinal 
dissonance or occasional headaches?

Given window violations, it's still possible, and often rewarding, 
to enjoy the views for what they have to offer, rather than focus 
on flaws. However, when mounting 5p & 7p Realist formats, 
the reduced height & reduced width alternatives that Spicer 
mounts provide can sometimes work wonders, by enabling 
accurate mounting while cropping away window violations that 
could otherwise be obtrusive.
