My apologizes, I was mistaken.

The problem I ran into wasn't with the size but rather that an attribute
value CANNOT contain CRLF characters.

This was a problem for our routine since we were trying to keep the XML
to as simple a definition as possible (and we wanted to avoid CData or
Charset issues) -- the XML was going to be consumed by
external/third-party systems/vendors, which could only be expected to
have nominal XML support.
