Re: provision-distance-between-starts, provisional-label-separation initial values

The initial values were chosen so that for most lists of type "bulleted"
and "numbered" the stylesheet author wold not need to specify these
properties and still get a good result (for a text size of 10pt and not
more than 2 digits plus a "." or ")" the values work quite well).

I'm curious where the initial values of 24.0pt and 6.0pt came from for
these two
properties. I can't see how these values provide any useful information.
Why not
just specify 0 or no initial value (and thus require a value be specified)?
