When a sailplane does have this limitation, it will be expressed so in their
manuals, and there will be a table of limiting IAS x Altitude.

So what are these reasons? Can someone explain this a bit better?
At 25,000 feet with a 90 knot headwind I'd like to know if
pushing the nose down to redline is maybe a bad idea...
and I'm not so sure I'd be confident doing it just
because there are blank pages in the manual...
