What are the limits?  I dont thing I've ever used anything bigger then 10000
or closer to 0 then .001, but it would be nice to know.

BTW, I tend to use 1POV = 1inch for small items and 1POV = ~1ft. for large
structure typ object.  IF you pland to distribute models or use other
peoples stick with 1POV = 1cm sence that is a pretty universal standard on
the net.
