Theory
As a temperament in the 3.5 subgroup, it tempers out 27/25, equating 5/3 with 9/5.
Since 26/15 is a convergent of sqrt(3), 26/15 (and its tritave complement 45/26) are good rational representations of the square root of 3. 2edt thus tempers out (26/15)2 / (3/1) = 676/675, the island comma.

Relationship to octave temperaments
One step of 2edt can represent the generator for any rank-2 octavated temperament which takes 2 generators to reach the 3rd harmonic, such as monzismic.
