A320...Max Ceiling FL390 Vs Max Rec FL398 ?

Hello...

i always wander....why is it showing in the MCDU the max rec is FL398 although why can't climb more than FL390 as is it a limit.

why we have this 800 feet more ?

my personal thinking is ...this 800 feet is to allow for a TCAS RA (Climb) at FL390 ?...may be ?

what do you think ?
