Hoping to get some community sentiment before I enter a jira about this.
I discovered to my dismay that (I think) 256 characters is the maximum length of URLs used for llParcelMediaCommandList() and in the About Land media dialog box.
This presents a problem especially for parameterized URLs (including anchors based on Unicode characters, where I first encountered it). Browsers allow much, much longer URLs, so I suspect this truncation is not standards compliant.
I'm wondering, however, if this limit might be intentional, to prevent some string length griefer-weapons (as arose when object descriptions were unlimited).
Or maybe there's some other reason we wouldn't want this to be unlimited?
Or some other limit we'd want?

I imagine there needs to be SOME limit to keep scripts from crashing, but I'd guess that it's more than what's available now... and probably done that way for convenience.. especially if it's a hard coded space (given that it's not 255 it's possible, perhaps even likely).
I say jira it... it's out of spec for standards and breaks things you would expect to be within spec.... then let them sort out if they'll decided i needs fixing, or is another undocumented "expected behavior"

I've recently been working on an object for which this limit is a severe hindrance.. I'd vote on a JIRA....
I'm not after anything silly, but doubling it would be nice.
