The more I think about, the stranger it seems that only Rings would have a hard level limit coded into their rules.
It seems odd that there would be no restriction on a 9th level character using an 11th level (or even 21st level) sword, or wand, or pair of boots, but that same character would be restricted from wielding an 11th level ring. I'm curious to see how rings are different, and I'm disappointed that WotC didn't address this in the article.
I half suspect that ALL items will have hard level limits in 4E, and we just haven't been told yet.
