Changed KE to CWE for now because the contents of "Dave Keenan & Douglas Blumeyer's guide to RTT: alternative complexities" contradict what I've heard from Mike, and it looks like there's been confusion about what exactly KE corresponds to for a long time, so for now I'll just stick with CWE to be safe.

Dubbed ''huygens'' here, this extension is perhaps the most practical, as it maps 17/16 to the minor second (C-Db), and 19/16 to the minor third (C-Eb), suitable for a system generated by a mildly tempered fifth.

KE and TE should always be included in the plain dot point list when they are available. Both lists should have pure-octave tunings first and tempered-octave tunings last.
CWE and TE should always be included in the plain dot point list if you know them.  
 
Both lists should have pure-octave tunings at the top of the list and tempered-octave tunings at the bottom.


Do not remove any other tunings that are already listed, just move them to the databox.
