Do they go by another name? P.S. A natural extension of the 17-tET Pythagorean system is to double it to 34-tET, where there are very good approximations of just thirds. 53-tET already has these. P.P.S. Hopefully the discussion of meantone tuning includes the 7-limit intervals. I would also not omit mention of 41-tET and 72-tET with reference to higher harmonics.
