Most underlying technologies would choke on this so it is probably a
very good idea to let implementors declare their implementations maximum
capacity and sub-scope it. Consider that each message may also have to
be stored in some form of persistent store too - this is an implementers
nightmare if they had to have 3 trillion terrabytes available for this
scenario.
