[NUT-devel] max number of streams?

nut.txt doesn't specify a limit for the number of streams:
| stream_count (v)
|     number of streams in this file
| ...
| stream_id (v)
|     Stream identifier
|     stream_id MUST be < stream_count

but a stream id in the frame type table must be less than 250:
| stream_id[frame_code] (v)
|     if FLAG_STREAM_ID is not set then this is the stream number for the
|     frame following this frame_code
|     if FLAG_STREAM_ID is set then this value has no meaning
|     MUST be <250

Does this imply that NUT files can have _any_ number of streams, but
stream_id values of 250 or greater must be explicitly coded in frame
headers?
