Okay, I'm just used to rounding them off for audio purposes. (i.e. typical
test tones, etc)  And being an instrument builder/musician, I tend to think of 
music pitch standards as references for the multiples.  I'm not a number
theorist.

By nature, these definitions are not exact, hence the difficulty of compiling
a glossary.  Avoiding vague terms would therefore seem like a goal.   If 
exact definitions are used for adjectives, they are not like adjectives anymore 
and lose their conceptually global character.  That doesn't seem helpful either.  

Just my opinion.
