Max line length (was Re: programming challenge ...)

[James Buster]

I have a question on how the dpANS words its descriptions of limits.
Are they worded as:
	"The implementation shall accept *a maximum of*.."
or
	"The implementation shall accept *at least*..."

It seems to me that the second wording is far superior, in
that if I create an implementation that has no explicit limits other
than those imposed by available virtual memory (for example), I can still
be dpANS compliant, rather than be forced to saddle my implementation
with silly limits. Of course, if you write a program that exceeds
one of those limits, it is still non-portable, but my implementation
can still properly translate it. I would appreciate flames to the contrary :-)
