I think Mark was being ironic - i.e. he agrees with you.

So my first attempt should be to apply 230 VAC directly, since if it fails
it needs fixing anyway...

Sorry. Broken logic. Try again.

This is one of the fields which that kind of reasoning DOES NOT APPLY. 
Overvoltage and overcurrent is things you need to know the limits for not to
cause a mess.

There are other things in which the logic may apply, but again, this is not
one of those. When having a component in your hand, the same kind of range
of allowed voltages etc. is not expected since it is expected that the box
that they go into will handle that as a complete design. If every component
would have huge overvoltage protection schemes they would be bulky and
overpriced.

Besides, I have been fairly successful at opening up things and reverse them
to the level that I know what levels I can use.

Cheers,
Magnus
