I think the extension limit is built into the drivers (catalyst a.i)

NOT CATALYST A.I. ..... the very same driver! :p

I can confirm that.....there are TWO OpenGL drivers in AMD Radeon Catalyst package and it's why there's no need of an Extension Limit management à la NVidia/MESA.

OpenGL 1.x "Compatibility" driver

OpenGL 2.x and above driver

Completely forgot about the bundled opengl files probably because it's been forever since I've had a non integrated ATI card that I gamed with.

It's not a joke but I've buyed a Radeon to avoid this problem among the other reasons :p
