question re: 22 tet guitar page

This micro-guitar stuff is of special interest to me
as I am currently having a guitar built that will have
24 frets to the octave, though the intervals are the
12TET plus twelve just intervals.

However I am a newbie to this world, and have some
questions (in fact I find much of the discussion on
this list far beyond my current knowledge, or at least
vocabulary).

Here's my question:
How can this fretting be 22TET (equally tempered, no?)
yet be limit 7, a term which I thought only applied to
Just intervals and the harmonic overtone series?

my apologies to the old guard for this, and future,
remedial questions I will post.

Please ask all the questions you can think of.

Alison and I are playing chords in 22-tET that _approximate_ the just
chords 4:5:6:7 and 1/(7:6:5:4).

The old guard deserves no apologies.

Sounds like a G&L/FreeNote Ultra Plus.

22tet isn't 7 limit, but it's close to 7 limit just.
