FieldSortedHitQueue.maxscore

Out of interest, is maxscore supposed to be

a) the max score of the the items inserted to the queue, even though they may 
have dropped out of the final results or
b) the max score of the size items remaining in the queue

Currently it reflects a, but just wondered whether it was correct.

Regards
Antony

Yes, it's supposed to be a.
It's used (among other things) for score normalization in Hits.
