IIRC there was a design (for a video game) that used a 10 MHz chip on 12 
or 16 MHz (google to find the real figure). It seemed to work, and IIRC 
it seemed not to work at 18 MHz.

But keep in mind that no-one here can do the kind of testing Microchip 
can do, so there is absolutely no way to say that a chip will reliably 
work at let's say 22 MHz instead of 20 MHz. The only thing one can say 
is that this one particular chip on my desk *appears* to work in this 
particular case (power, filtering, clock, application, temperature, 
phase of the moon, proximity of dead fish, etc).
