Another question regarding Well Temperament

I wrote:
<< "In the keys found in the middle of the circle of fifths, there is a less 
dramatic difference in the tempering, allowing certain "alignments" of the 
intervals to produce triads with a lot of the beating working together."

Greetings, 
    Yes, this is what I thought Owen meant by his original statement.  The 
beat rates are proportional to each other in certain triads. The "Rhythmic 
harmoniousness" isn't a term I would have used, as most of these rates are 
beyond what I would have thought of as "rhythm".   
    I have just finished a Broadwood 7' grand restringing and action set-up,  
and last night put Paul Bailey's '92 well temperament on it.  This is a very 
clean sounding tuning, and while it hasn't the contrast of say a Kirnberger, 
there are numerous places in the temperament in which the M3 and m3 share a 
proportional rate, (at least, the way I have it does).  These triads have a 
clarity, yet at the same time, a lot of "activity", as Margo says.  
    Can an 8 year old temperament be saddled with the "historic" designation, 
or is it simply a temperament, like all the others........?
