I have looked at all the commercial jet parameters on my flight sim and none of them is certified for anything near 800kts.
Now we know why A340YY had such skewed "knowledge" - he has a flight sim that has bad info! If he had a real 744 manual or sim, the "red tape" would be at 366 KIAS or 0.92 MACH!
