I propose to revert my suggested changes, and I come up with an
alternative patch that does exactly this in Java when I have some time.
That shouldn't be too hard (even with my limited Java skills). Are there
preferences:

1. add support the unlimited="-1" attribute as above
2. add support the nounlimited attribute as above
3. don't add an attribute. Unlimited is unlimited.
