Thanks,

The margins are for consideration of an engine failure at V1 and the stopping distance or height over the end of the runway. I would think that the margin(as a percent) for the aircraft with the 10 knot tailwind would be the same as for the aircraft with a 10 knot headwind. Less so for the aircraft with zero wind.
