I see the thread saying that voltage-tolerance is a crappy idea -> I
agree to that.

What I dont see in the thread, and the point I raised here, why have
nominal/typical voltage at all? min<->max should be sufficient,
correct? If the device cannot function at min, then it should not be
documented as part of valid range at all.
