Thanks for pointing that out! The document I used is "spec_DMD_0.109.pdf", it's
outdated and does not seem to contain that limit; where could I find a more
up-to-date specification? The site docs don't build up to a complete
specification, do they?

Still, a question remains: what's the reason for such a limit?
