Inheriting Monero's parameters was implied here, as this coin was launched as an a pure (exact, other than branding) clone of Monero, and further my communication with the original developer when it was handed over strongly suggested that was intended. The only ambiguity comes from Monero's tail reward not having being implemented at the time this coin was launched, so the original forked code for this coin didn't have any tall reward at all. What was in the Monero design but unimplemented at the time (and somewhat ambiguous) was "less than 1%". I think it best that we keep within those parameters and not just make something up out of thin air a year and a half after launch.

Less than 1% can mean 1% for all practical purposes though. Just the slightest bit of rounding down is sufficient to satisfy <1%.
