There are mechanical limits, the most obvious are those of ranged weapons, but even melee weapons cannot, for instance, hit discriminate targets smaller than their cross-section.

Regardless, my point is that increasing Dodge much above 20 is likely to be increasingly inefficient.

No, I'm not asking specifically after limits for a Power. I'm asking for what the realistic values are for someone who in every way fights faster than a normal person.
Realistically, such things are probably better modeled as speed penalties than dodge bonuses, and for those you have the SSR.
