Comment (by rachelbaker):

 Replying to [comment:18 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > The `maxlength` attribute is probably redundant (and would cause an
 extra query on front-end), I think just checking the length in `wp-
 comments-post.php` would be enough.

 The issue I see there is that if a commenter was to leave a 65525+ comment
 they wouldn't know it was too long until they press submit.  Including
 "max-length" in the comment form template would at least give the
 commenter feedback that they have reached some sort of limit when they try
 to type the 65526 character.
