Erlich" Gary, A "syntonic meantone temperament" -- or meantone temperament, for short -- is one in which there is NO pitch difference between the dominant of the dominant and the submediant of the subdominant. I would not consider 17tet a meantone temperament because it is not consistent within the 5-limit (i.e., the best approximation of a 4/3 plus the best approximation of a 5/4 does not equal the best approximation of a 5/3).
