What is the proper technique for the bottom edge of the windshield: taper it so that the edge sits flat against the forward fuse or leave it at 90 deg to the windshield surface and let it fill in with fiberglas or filler??

If you've got some precision machining equipment and skills, flat is
better, elsewise I think you'll end with a combination approach. i.e.
it's best if you can have a mated surface between the windscreen and the
upper fuse. However, for those, like me, who lack the
skills/patience/knowledge... fill in the blank.... it was necessary to
trowel in some flox to fill the voids.

Just get it close to the fuselage. Don't bother tapering it. You can fill it from the outside with micro to get a smooth transition. As long as it's with in 1/8"-1/4" you'll be OK.
After the windshield is roughly fit you might want to mark the outline against the fuse and paint inside. It's going to be hard to get in there later.
I painted the margin about 1.5" around the bottom inside of the windshield with rattlecan flat black before it went in too. Then after the micro squeezed under the plastic a bit, I was able to hide it with flat black applied with a long paintbrush.
