Marshall,

Look again at the arrow in the datasheet you posted. The words "Design Center" are key here. The design center system of maximum ratings means it is completely safe to run the maximum allowed value. Design center means you can actually exceed the maximum value listed by about 10 to 20 percent, and provides a built in safety margin for parts value variation, manufacturing tolerances in parts, etc
