Brazil rule issue

[Alain Petit]

Hi
 
I am looking in the Brazil rules and I was wondering if this was expected:
 
<snapshot>
 
Rule    Brazil  2007    only    -       Oct     Sun>=8   0:00   1:00    S

# </a>
# [t]he DST period in Brazil now on will be from the 3rd Oct Sunday to the

# the Carnival Sunday then the return date will be the next Sunday...

Rule    Brazil  2038    max     -       Feb     Sun>=15 0:00    0       -

There is 2 'max' entry for Brazil, one for 2008, and one for 2038.
Rule    Brazil  2008    max     -       Oct     Sun>=15 0:00    1:00    S
Rule    Brazil  2038    max     -       Feb     Sun>=15 0:00    0       -

Reading the entries for 2012+ I feel that the one for 2008 should be a 'only' rather than 'max'.
 
Is that correct?
 
Thanks
Alain Petit
