Every 5-6 feet (for no icing) seems fairly reasonable for 1/2" 
cable.  Remember this is for 125 mi/hr wind, and there's going to be a 
fairly hefty margin.  It's going to have to support the weight of the 
cable, and the wind loads, and, presumably, for 20 years or something like 
that.  I didn't read through all the pages, but I would imagine that they 
calculate how much bending and tension loads the cable should see, and 
choose spacings that work with that, as well.
