Several "definitions" seem confusing. For instance, the definition itself says that the nearer object is apparently smaller in size than the more distant object. While strictly mathematically speaking this is correct, the natural understanding of perspective would suggest something along the line "The transitting object is closer to the observer than the more distant object, which, consequently, appears to be smaller than it actually is; for instance, Venus transitting Sun covers significant portion of Sun, while in reality, it is less than (exact value here) of Sun's diameter." Another problematic part is "When the nearer object has a larger angular diameter than the farther object, thus covering it completely" in "Mutual planetary..." -- The problem is that for a closer object to cover a distant object completely, the closer object need not be larger (Moon can cover Sun when observed from Earth during Solar "eclipses"). It worries me that the definitions in this article do not have citation marks at them. Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, he does not give his results to better than 0°.01, which is larger than the expected error. At that level, their is little diffierence in the results, but errors that large could cause the outer planets, with their small disks, to miss each other!
