When I looked into this a few years ago, I believe Adobe were the only ones I found who used 0.888, but they seem to have changed that lately too:

Anyway, the only way to be sure about what PAR
your camcorder uses, is to measure it from the actual video (by filming a circle for example).
And you
can enter any PAR value you want in Deshaker. (RTFM!
)
And yes, the PAR is important for handling rotation and zoom correctly, and also if you use different PAR values for source and destination.
The reason Deshaker's preset is appr. 0.912 instead of appr. 0.909 is because I was convinced by that web page, but since most video applications out there seem to use 0.909 I may reconsider, even if it's not correct.

Deshaker prefers not to see any borders during pass 1. They interfere with the motion estimation. You should remove them either by cropping or using 'ignore pixels'. If you use 'previous and future frames to fill in borders' for pass 2, you should definitely crop any borders before deshaking.
