I don't see any reason to impose such a small limit on payload size.  Surely 
some limit must exist, but 128 characters seems awfully small.  I already have 
at few places in mind that would require more bytes.

Why not 8K, 64K, 256K, 1M or even more?  Is there some other factor in play 
forcing this limitation?
