I think that the standard definition of facing length is the distance that a 0.0015 inch thick feeler gauge can be slid between Ed Palanker's plate glass and the mouthpiece.

This doesn't really show where the reed departs from the reed table on the mouthpiece, but is a useful standard, since finding the actual tangency point is difficult.

If you take a series of measurement along the facing curve, you can plot them and smoothly take the curve to zero and estimate the "true" facing length.
