Ralf Handl updated ODATA-236:
-----------------------------

    Proposal: Restrict length of SimpleIdentifier to 50 and QualifiedName to 500 (who bids 100 and 1000? :-)  (was: Restrict length of SimpleIdentifier to 30 and QualifiedName to 300 (or 309 to account for the dots :-))

>             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: OData CSDL
>    Affects Versions: V4.0_WD01
>         Environment: [Proposed]
>            Reporter: Ralf Handl
>            Priority: Blocker
>             Fix For: V4.0_WD01

>
> Currently the prose specification defines no limit for namespace names, and the CSDL schema definition limits them to 512 characters.
> Both the prose spec and the schema limit simple identifiers to 479 characters.
> Apparently the C# compiler accepts only 511 characters for both variable names and namespace names, so 512 is too long for namespaces, and 479 is oddly short for a simple identifier.
> JavaScript on the other hand has no limit for variable names.
