We tell people to use the vertical-space argument with <figure_file>.
Is it actually needed?
To see if I could display all of a large RAGS figure at once, I
increased the value from 51 to 60. No difference. So I reduced it to
20. No difference. Haven't tried leaving it blank yet.
Would there be any penalty in just putting a nominal value for the
argument and have one less thing to track?

For formal figures, you can put any number that strikes your fancy
in that argument (as you have discovered). The converter opens the
figure file, reads the actual dimensions from the file, and passes
that information the the Bookreader for creating the pop up window.
For informal figures, the dimension must be accurate, as for
hardcopy. This is because informal figures are inline and TeX
uses the dimension to leave enough white space for the figure
(as for hardcopy).
I think the tag translator will complain if the argument is not
provided, and it's probably a good idea to put the true dimension
in anyway in case you (or someone else for another document) decide
to make the figure informal.
