I have a college text on cutter sharpening by Cincinnati, but you think I can find it when I need it? No.
In my experience, slotting cutters like that should have a slight taper, maybe 1/2º per side. Otherwise, the teeth would rub on the sides of the slot and generate a crappy finish. That's the same reason why end mills are not 90º across the end.
