Mike,

Limits it for who?  Not for residential, at least in my state!  You can go
as high as 8".  I just finished doing a set of stairs...and it was 8", but
with the number of risers I had, we moved it down to 7 9/16 rise (9 1/2 run,
18 risers), and it's much more comfortable than it would have been with 8"
risers.

Here is an on-line calculator BTW:
