A double augmented 7th is actually a little wider than a perfect octave.
On the piano you can't make the difference of course but B# is really
one comma higher than C. 

And Dbb is one comma lower than C so no a diminished second is not a
perfect unison.

Jean-Luc,
    You're right, in theory.  But I'm thankful that in order to save on
ivory we have few pianos that can accomodate the difference of a comma.
I think in equal temp language we could define a Dbb as enharmonic to a
C, or at least that they have identical frequencies.   There were organs
produced with more than 12 notes to an octave though weren't there?  Mr.
Hechler might have worked on some(?).
