Octave Stretch for 19-tone Equal

About the advisability of stretching the 19-tone equal octave by 2-3
cents, and the important harmonic benefits of this... Back in the early
90's I sent this information round to as many people in the tuning
community as I could think of, but I am perfectly uninterested in
disputes over priority of discovery, or anything silly of that kind.
What is important is that this information be widely known to everyone.
This matter is more important than one might suppose; Ellis for example
dismissed 19-tone equal solely because he never thought of stretching
the octave slightly.
