[OpenSPP-project] String lengths in SPPP

[Dean W. <dea...@so...>]

As the dev team understands the SPPP specs, most string lengths are
unbounded. This is a problem for the use of MySQL as a persistence model, at
least with Spring/JDBC, as the database schema gets fixed-size strings.

Two questions:

1) What sizes are reasonable for each of the strings in the schema?

2) Do we need something in the protocol to inform the client of permitted
string sizes and/or to add bounds-checking and reporting in the transaction
logic?
