Comment:

 Thanks for giving the opportunity to discuss this.

 This is quite a big problem for languages with an alphabet totally
 different from English. We can't have a post_name with more than ~38
 letters, since '''every''' letter is urlencoded to be stored in the
 database, so every letter is converted into many more characters,
 dramatically cutting down the maximum possible length of the "real" post-
 name.
