Summary: Bonus:Skillrank allows exceeding Maxranks

Initial Comment:
I created a custom feat that allows a class (wizard or
cleric in my campaign) to select a knowledge type skill
to get a bonus rank when levelling.

The feat:
Bonus Knowledge	MULT:YES	STACK:YES	VISIBLE:NO
CHOOSE:SKILLSNAMED|TYPE=Knowledge|1	BONUS:SKILLRANK|LIST|1

Wizard gets this feat twice at level 2 (to allow a
wizard to select the same skill twice if they want)

Class line:
2	ADD:FEAT(Bonus Knowledge)	ADD:FEAT(Bonus Knowledge)

To verify:

Created a level 1 NG Human wizard loading just my
custom campaign PCC (which pulls in the needed stuff
from the RSRD).

Stats all 10.  Give 4 ranks to Knowledge (Arcana) for
level 1, then level to 2.  Select Knowledge (Arcana) in
both choosers.  The character now has 6 ranks showing
in both the Skills pane and in the Preview pane for
Knowledge (Arcana).  This exceeds the max ranks allowed
for a level 2 character (max ranks 5)

Fixed in 1411.

This is implemented so that if you don't have the ignore 
max ranks preference set, your total ranks (base + bonus) 
can't excede your max ranks.

No, this is valid, re-opening.  This is not to Spec.  See
the docs, it mentions that Max ranks still apply.

It adds to RANKS, which can not be above the max rank the
character can have unless another bonus is applied (I know
there was a Freq once to adjust the maximum number of ranks
a character could have, but I don't recall if it was ever
coded.)

Deck of Many Things doesn't grant +6 ranks, in either 3.0 or
3.5 (checked both SRDs - files srdmagicitems.rtf and
MagicItemsVI.rtf, respectively).

BONUS:SKILLRANK should never raise the ranks of a character
above what the character is allowed.

This is not a bug, skill ranks given by bonuses can extend
your total beyond the max e.g.  Deck of Many things gives
you +6 rank.   It would be different if your feat gave you
skill points to spend (a slightly different interpretation)
