Hello,
at the moment I'm investigating the max_x_size problem. Here is a short
preview of things I found so far. More detailed results will be attached
to #269.
Current state of affairs:
1. currently I concentrate only on USB CCID devices
2. there are in fact three different kinds
* TPDU
* Short APDU
* Short and Extended APDU
3. TPDU and Ext-APDU devices don't need special handling.
It's for sure that these devices would at least transmit EVERY
Short APDU (255/256) (A fact to remember)
References that confirm that fact: [1] [2]
4. looking closer at the third kind of devices (only Short APDU),
let to an interesting result. The following list will show.
* fist column is dwMaxCCIDMessageLength
* second column is a file under pcsclite/trunk/Drivers/ccid/readers

Assuming that devices with dwMaxCCIDMessageLength=261 are all USB_Tokens
and not readers. Then it looks like that all these readers of third kind
can also handle 255/256.
All in all this let to the conclusion that all known USB CCID devices
can handle at least 255/256. (data set is retrieved from libccid source
code)
And this in turn would make the description in opensc.conf very brief.
Maybe like this: "If you have a usb device, then you can go with the
defaults."
