I came across this issue a while back with the limit of a webDNA text variable name (not value). Using trial an= d error, I discovered the maximum was 49 chars. Perhaps you can perform some of your own trial and error and let us know = what you find out for form variable names. Of course, this does not necessarily confirm what the w3 standard definition= is. Just try it in as many browsers as you can. It seems that limits go up rather than down, so I'd say you'd be saf= e that if it works today, it will work tomorrow, next week, next year...
