No, currently -z value with value > hard returns 
administrativeLimitExceeded.
Honestly, I don't remember how we got there, but I'm positive this 
resulted from
a debate.  The idea was:

no specific request:               use soft
specific request <= hard:      use hard
specific request > hard:        admin limit

I haven't looked at its implications for a while, and it seems weird to 
me that
the server may refuse a legal request in such a drastic way; I'd rather 
simply
stay with the hard limit if the request exceeds it.
