I believe that maxsdkversion has already been or is in the process of being depreciated, meaning the market no longer looks at that tag in the manifest. Which makes sense because if the OS updated to a newer version but not all the apps did, they would dissapear in the market to that user, despite the fact that most would still work perfectly fine.
