Nothing says you have to tension the cable to a particular fraction of 
it's breaking strength. It's more a matter of the desired tension for 
appropriate stability for the structure.  You could tension million 
pound breaking strength cable to the same few hundred pounds as the the 
regular non-EHS cable.

Now, if the cable is particularly heavy (per unit length) compared to 
the design cable, there are some issues, but I wouldn't think that's the 
case here, comparing EHS and regular cables.
