The tilted clips were mainly designed for the metal stairs model. Clips for models like this http://i.imgur.com/kBKHpS0.jpg are only a bonus.
The rotated clips are limited to 45° steps, because anything else would be crazy. I thought of limiting the tilt also to 100% (or 45°). But to get seamless stairs in every possible situation, a slight derivation from the 100% may be needed, and so the slope angle value got a resolution of 2.5%. Since clip entities are only used on map models, it is unlikely, that a flat sloped clip would be large enough for the exact stepping algorithm to make any noticeable difference.
Well, gema maps will probably use tilted clips of any size for anything, but I don't really care :)
