I've heard that in essense you're not really allowed to send LiPo batteries with air freight at all (ground shipping only). Some webshops cannot sell to other countries due to this. Also this has to be investigated thoroughly.
In practise I can't really see the airlines opening up your luggage and checking the mAh rating... I think this is a VERY theoretical problem if any. (Hand luggage would be worse of course).
Does this mean laptops will never come with batteries with more than 5000 mAh???
An argument against size restrictions is that manufacturers won't try to make thinner cases, wires, smaller solder tabs etc... to try and shrink'em... safety first!
