If y'all promise to take comp.lang.vrml off the followups (fascinating
though the topic is), I'll give you the skinny on VRML symbolic names:
VRML browsers are required to support up to 50 utf8 octets for symbolic
names for PROTOs, DEFs, and fields (the only place they apply). Ref:
ISO/IEC-14772-1:1997, Clause 7.3.3.
Although VRML files can inline other VRML files, each file has its own
namespace, so linker considerations don't apply, since the language is
neither compiled nor linked.
ECMAScript scripts inside VRML files follow ECMA-262, which requires
symbolic names to be of "unlimited" length. Ref: ECMA-262, Clause 7.5.
