The front plus back values sum should be less or equal than one. Also, 
as before, the total diffuse plus the ambient should add to one or less.
BUT, there is nothing preventing you from having diffuse 1,1 if you want to.

The specular/phong hilights can give a total larger than one when 
combined with the oter parameters.
