thanks much, Graham! actually, i saw both of those the other day
(in fact, i think Dave posted them in response to my own query),
but as i've been keeping my distance from the tuning lists, i already
lost track of them. the definitions have been updated:

http://www.ixpres.com/interval/dict/periodicityinterval.htm
http://www.ixpres.com/interval/dict/equivalenceinterval.htm

now, doesn't the "planar temperament" definition also need to
be fixed to say "periodicity interval" instead of "equivalence
interval"?

What? Yes, they're like linear temperaments but with one extra generator.
And you could also say that the process can be extended to any number of
generators (however you count them). Hopefully, anybody doing this will
mention "planar temperament" somewhere.
