Alignment slightly out of specs? 850

Just had an alignment done today after the Struts,Spring seats and Strut mounts replaced.
The car goes straight down the road and wheel is 12 o clock so all good there.
But..I wanted to check out the printout with the numbers and compare to spec and found a PDF file (that also somebody else here on the forum also had found):

1995-6 850: http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/tech/service/850/WheelAlignmentSpecificationsProcedures.pdf

If these are the correct specs for my -95 Turbo wagon:

Front Toe-In: .11 To .21 inches (.23 To .43 deg.)
Front Camber: -1 To 1 deg.
Caster: 2.33 To 4.33 deg.


My values after alignment:

Front Toe in = 0.17 deg on both Left and Right, looks like they used inches value!
Camber Left = 0.2 deg Right = -1.0 deg
Caster Left = 2.0 Right = 2.5 deg

Camber is in spec and Left caster is slightly off, doesn't concern me a lot.

But the Toe-in, is this is significant deviation 0.17 instead of .23 deg on the low end of the spec?

Of course they'll fix it if I go back, just the hassle if it's not of importance.

What do you think?
