If there must be a limit, then I think the limit should be enforcible by
the server, and if server wants to have 2047, then why not?
Only if we can guarantee that there will never be cases where one server
has to store (or cache) another server's entry. That's a worrisome promise
to make.
A fixed limit also makes it easier for an admin to migrate server software
transparently to his users.
I admit that not a lot of people are going to hit this edge case, but in
principle...
