A few of us have been trying to work this out. We've concluded that we need either a diagram, an example or possibly a learning object to
sort this out! Words are not enough! I'll maybe wait until the next CETIS SIG meeting unless any of you are brave enough to pursue this in
the meantime! Thanks for your help.

Hi Phil,
That's a really good explanation of smallest permitted maximum. I think it would be really useful if you could add that to the reference
section on the CETIS website.
