Yay - good to see that you guys are finally working on something that has been 
in the StarLight skin for over a year - please have a look at my xml code if you 
want.

I did some experimentation with it a while back and found that 32 was a good 
minimum distance - if you go much lower you find that the camera behaves oddly 
when editing appearance.  Also you have to think what you want as a maximum 
distance - I have chosen 992 because some people want to see a long way when 
sailing etc.  (and it was highest multiple of 32 under 1000).
