Indeed. I chose to propose something else because I didn’t want the solution to 
depend on an implementation of “CharField of unlimited length”.

That feature isn’t hard to implement but it involves more difficult design 
decisions. Look at the archives for this mailing-list for more information.

Anyway, it seems that this issue is bound to die in a bikeshedding fest, so 
I’ll leave it there, with my apologies to Brazilian users who will remain 
unable to log into Django-based websites :-(
