Ok, if the datasheet tells you that the LM317 can not
have such high input, output voltage, then do not do it.
I do not have it in front of me, but this again this
recommended and abs. max. game.

There is another thing: there is some limit for the
output short protection. The 317 seems to have a limit
for the output voltage, where the protection circuit
will not keep it in SOA.

Some LT regulator has better performance in this case.

All from my head, late now, time to go home.

m.c.
