I used 0.05 eg in Housings_SSOP, so you can check if it looks ok.
Sounds very sensible to me. Since the guy who wrote that is also one of the people on the committee that approved IPC-7351, this is presumably consistent with that standard. > Can overlaping courtyard with silkscreen be allowed?

As the "IPC" way now is to draw the main silk screen lines at the maximum material position for alignment verification purposes, and the courtyard by definition is outside that, I think it would make sense to at least say that all silk should be contained within the courtyard? Otherwise it could be obscured by other components. If the silk extends up to or outside the courtyard, that may indicate that the courtyard is too tight.
