We shouldn't have numbers as arbitrary limits in normative language. It's reasonable to have text like """ Real-world testing has shown that 1000 characters is a reasonable limit for the length of RTT messages, and it is suggested that clients use this default. """ but not """ RTT messages SHOULD be limited to 1000 characters """ /K
