Default Complex angle tenons on chair joinery

Looking at the site, since the rabbet bit runs on the sides of the rail, it
looks like the size of the tenon is a function of the bearing and the width
of the workpiece. This means that the tenon is not necessarily a fixed size
(ie 1/2"). Do you then cut the mortise to fit the tenon rather than the
other way around? I prefer to fit the tenon to a fixed size mortise.

In addition, if you angle the workpiece in both directions to get a
compound angle tenon, it looks like the shoulders would all be different
sizes. Have I interpreted this properly? How do you account for this?

Jig at the http://www.patwarner.com/tenonmaker.html link will swing
through 30 degrees. To get the compound angle will require a wedge
but not rocket science to produce. Plans avaiable.
