indents too large

The indents of a paragraph should look like empty square blocks. See, eg, Bringhurst http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Typographic-Style-Robert-Bringhurst/dp/0881791326

I'm not sure conforming to Bringhurst is going to be a wide ranging activity, but at least it is clear that \parindent is inconsistently defined (sometimes "in", "pt", "cm").

If we satisfy #16 then we should probably have various line lengths defined in terms of the fontsize instead of fixed values. I'll make Amy's google easier and point her here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45501/how-to-add-indentation#comment214495_45512

this is sufficiently well refined now.

Actually, I think you should set \parindent with \baselineskip and any other scalings... That scales best with changes.
