Summary: Modularization can result in values that violate schema

Initial Comment:
While running light.exe to generate a merge module, table cell contents may be 
modularized even though the resulting value would violate the table schema.

For example:

<directory id="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890.helloworld" Name="Hello 
World" />

The ID is 47 characters long, which is valid by the directory table schema, but 
the modularized ID

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890.helloworld.11111111_AAAA_2222_BBBB_333333333333

is 84 characters long, which violates the schema of the directory table.

This needs to at the very least generate a warning, but really should probably 
generate an error and halt.

There are a great many things that can blow out the max number of
characters that WiX does not catch today.  The WiX toolset (especially v2)
does not replace the need to run validation.  

This is not something we'll fix in WiX v2 (but consider for WiX v3).

Has this changed recently?  I used to get a warning whenever I would
generate a component that would modularize > 72 chars.  Now all I get is an
ICE03 during link.
