I wish this was a joke:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2397.html
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/networking/docs/aboutdata.html

And trust me, this is not even one of the worst parts of the web this days.

But that is not what I was referring to, fortunately data: urls are not
too common yet (but their popularity has been growing lately.)

We had problems with URLs >200 bytes long or so, I don't remember the
details, they are probably in the logs of #acme as fgb and me
investigated it some weeks ago.  Now that I think about it, it
certainly seems very strange how writes were split so early, I'm not
sure if we checked the exact iounit value, but it certainly seemed
strangely low to me.
