Regarding one: where there is potential confusion with the letter L, the writer should include the serif at the top of the numeral. Where no such confusion exists, a serif is not needed (as it invites confusion with the numeral seven).

Regarding seven: the middle line is appropriate where there is confusion caused by an overly large serif on the numeral one.

Correct. Dashed seven to distinguish from one, and dashed zero to distinguish from the letter O.

To contribute: pH of anything that ever had a pulse should be expressed as nanoequivalents/L H+ and I will die on this hill.

In a gesture of magnanimity, for the rest of my life I will slash my zeros with a backslash.
