Right, so the real question is: "Is that ok to not get the spread rate
(maximum of how much we derive from the requested frequency) into
account?"
I believe it is, on average the frequency is what we set-up. Maybe
Adam can shed more light on why he thought it was necessary?
As a side note, the spec does not mention that at all.
