/Any/ illuminant can serve as an upper limit -- but the question is,
does it make sense in the context? Popularity is not a criterium here.

Unless you have a specific reason for chosing any particular whitepoint,
the only one that stands out is whitepoint E (equal energy).

Another candidate for an upper limit would be Y=1.
