Well in this particular case I am sending an arbitrarily-sized list of RPG character related data to the user. Any fixed limit would be undesirable. A larger limit (4K) would be acceptable, since, in practice the maximum amount of data is probably about 1K.
As I understand it, the string tables are sent to all clients. I don't want to spam every client with this data, since it's only useful to the client that it's directed at.
