I'm making a 90 minute IPA clone this week, with the recipe from BYO magazine:
5 gal
OG 1.088 FG 1.021
IBU 90 SRM 13 ABV 8.7%
AG:
16.5 lbs Pilsner Malt
1.66 amber malt
Extract:
8lbs Light DME
1.75lbs Pilsner malt
2.00 oz Amarillo 8% AA 90 - 0 minutes continuous
.62 oz Simcoe 10% AA 90 - 0 minutes continuous
.53 oz Warrior 15% AA 90 - 0 minutes continuous
1.00 oz Amarillo Dry
.50 oz Simcoe Dry
.50 oz Warrior Dry
Irish moss
Wyeast 1099 (Whitbread)
As you can see, the extract recipe requires Pilsner malt, I assume for steeping. But it seems like you can't steep pilsner malt? At least not according to BeerSmith or this chart:

Which both think you need to mash Pilsner malt in order to get anything out of it? Or is that wrong? Can anyone suggest an alternative, assuming I'm right and steeping the Pislner won't do anything?
