Hi Ben The simple answer is that changing this in the XSD won't be sufficient - there's a PID class that does some java checking also (possibly elsewhere in the code there are checks also).
As a general point it wouldn't I think make sense to allow any arbitrary string as a Fedora PID - however if there would be real value in increasing the current limit maybe that is something that should be looked at. What sort of maximum length would you like to see? I would guess that increasing the length could have some performance implications - I'm thinking of the SQL database indexing; maybe people have some thoughts on this.
