That's what the post I replied to mentioned :)

Also, when I looked at hstore, it had a limitation on its length which
made it a little dangerous to use for me:
"In the current implementation, neither the key nor the value string
 can exceed 65535 bytes in length"
[http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/hstore.html]

It looks like this limitation has been lifted in 9.0.  Good news!

Cheers,
