I am reliably informed that this limitation is relaxed in 11iv3 (aka 
11.31) with the installation of patch PHNE_36857 which was released in 
December of 2007.   I have no information on that being back-ported to 
11iv2 or 11iv1 and would assume it would be based entirely on demand 
made known through official channels.
