Maximums are not given on curves, but in the tables. Curves
show "typical" applications, and are not guaranteed.
A/the major reason not to exceed datasheet limits is that even
if an application which exceeds datasheet limits works today, theres
no guarantee that it will with the next batch of devices. Of course
if your application stops working and you're outside spec application
limits, the followup discussion with the apps guy is going to be quite short.
