How does the RTC plan view determine which iterations to present as selections in the "Plan For" context menu?

I believe this is true if there are 6 or less iterations that meet the criteria in Sam's answer. In my testing, I see a max of 6 iterations plus the backlog iteration initially displayed for selection. I'd like to understand the logic to determine which 6 iterations are displayed.
What version do you use? In my RTC 403, it display all 9 iterations in the plan for list, I test in Web client.
I see the same behavior in 4.0.0.1 and 4.0.3. I am also using the web client.
then looking at one of the plans, I selected the plan for and get this list
if I select browse, I see this
I created a sub level iteration and it looks like this
but the list in Plan for doesn't change, so, this tells me the algorithm is find all iterations at the same level in the release containing the workitem's current iteration. (or the containing Plan's iteration)

Thanks Sam, I appreciate the responses. In a 3 level hierarchy, if I set the current iteration at the 3rd level, in Plan For I see the parent and the grand parent of the current, 3 siblings of the parent iteration, and one sibling of the grand parent. What is available does not appear to be affected by the iteration set for the plan (other than scoping the available iterations belonging to the same timeline), but is definitely affected by what iteration is marked as current.
