The current process does *not* limit the length of non-private-use
tags.  It's true that the process does not permit the registration of
unlimited-length tags, as we do not have enough universe to represent them in full.

But absolutely nothing except his good sense prevents Michael from registering
en-the-dialect-spoken-on-the-bowery-between-1933-and-1945-by-alcoholic-drug-users-who-live-in-flophouses.
