You missed an "L". Anyway, yeah. I have often read that the expansion speed of the universe is thought to be not limited by the speed of light. I'm not sure why that is.Originally Posted by Dreadnaught

Because it's the space-time that's expanding and not the matter within. It's the same principle which would allow an Alcubierre drive to achieve FTL.
It's also the difference between relativistic redshift and the cosmological redshift (even though both produce the same effect, the underlying cause is fundamentalistically different)

And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
