Almost hesitant to chime in here, after so much banter has gone by...
I edit in Pro Tools, and fades are always tweaked for the individual
instance. 10ms is great (approx the degree of time-resolution the human
hearing mechanism can resolve), as is 30ms-ish, a bit smoother.
But don't be afraid of Very long crossfades for purposes of smooth blending
/ integration of shifting background sounds. I've on occasion done 30
second crossfades, and 10-seconds is not uncommon. Depends completely and
utterly on the material. (if it sounds good, it is good. Unless you're
working on scientific data, in which case of course accurate is accurate.)
It's worth spending some time to figure out the crossfade functions of your
editing software and how they function and how they can be used to engage
the material
