Again, I have the razor in front of me -- this is the best for it. Taking it to a true wedge won't even reach the spine (there's a short bevel narrowing the width as you approach the spine). That ridge line running down the blade is going to move back to or near the spine, but that's about the extent of it...and a relatively small change to bring the sides back to true.
My plan, such as it is, is to take it to a true wedge and test the edge. If there are any issues, then I tape the spine (since it will all be even at that point) and put in a new bevel.
One question for the tapers in the audience: have you run into any issues with taping a spine that doesn't match the profile of the edge? That's the case with dip-at-toe, though the change in bevel angle should be _slight_.
