D'oh!  Sorry, doing too many things at once.  You're right, that
worked for me.  However, you still have Mike's issue of 63 characters
per label and 255 characters total, the support issue, plus all the
wasted bandwidth with such a long name.

Also, I'd be hesitant dealing with certain special characters,
technically legal but potentially dangerous, like [...@*"'?%,] et al.

Isn't there a reason they recently re-enabled check-names by default?

Obviously not.  Interesting.
