All issues regarding functionality as to bug 21415 are handled as far as I can tell.  Attached is the combined patch that I used today to perform my testing.

Martin implemented a new feature for pixel width/height specifications with a floating number, so it would probably be a good idea to mention something about that feature somewhere in the doc-string for `make-frame'.

And, as Anders previously noted, on OSX it is possible to set the width or the height or both -- so the following statement may need to be modified to something such as:  "On some operating systems, . . .[y]ou cannot specify either ‘width’ or ‘height’, you must specify neither or both."

Thank you both for all your hard work -- today is the first time since I started using Emacs that I have been able to set the `default-frame-alist` in my `.emacs` file and have it work well for the initial frame and all subsequently created frames.  :)

Keith
