I doubt that anyone will use a baseline greater than 2.1 (2^31/2*10^6) 
kilometers, but sure, this part is dropped. I more strongly doubt anyone 
will use a baseline of less than a micrometer, mechanics start to play 
with dice, and atomic force microscopy has coarser resolution than this.

We use rationals for everything, not just framerates and ratios.

Yup, that's the plan.
