On this specific type of issue, I agree with Martin here that sanity checks for over-the-top configurations are reasonable, however we should be standardizing this, not having every implementation do this ad hoc. We really should go through a list of these sort of implementation break points and start picking arbitrary lines to add to the spec. They don't have to be ideal numbers; just something better than an upper limit of 2^15-2 suites (2 bytes each; 2^16-2 max sized vector) would be nice, for this example. Yes, certain fields have to stay open-ended, namely extensions, but reasonable limits should be added where appropriate. Dave
