Allowing for 63 characters (instead of 63 octets) per label by way of EDNS
would certainly help to motivate adoption.

I think that it is probably also feasible to adopt a "continuation" syntax
in ACE as part of a backwards compatibility. Perhaps a special byte
sequence (like soft-hyphen) could be reserved for this purpose, allowing a
pair of ACE labels to be interpreted as a single label.
