I found this .PDF I stashed away that is a very good introduction to the way that tempered scales and string intonation works.
The author David Collins is a well respected guitar repair person from Michigan who was at one time repair person at Elderly instruments. There are some interesting links to further reading.

Re: Temperament
Good article Bob.
What all the salesmen for bent frets etc dont tell you is that it cant work in all keys.
I used to tune harmonicas to a "natural scale" though and that does sweeten up the chords.

Re: Temperament
It's one thing I don't have to fret about. I don't have the temperament for it.
