Comment (by azaozz):

 Don't think there's a problem to have hard-coded maxlength. 65k characters
 is a lot of text, about 11,000 words or 44 printed pages :)

 We already have a filter `'comment_form_default_fields'`. Can add an array
 with hard-coded lengths for the (very rare) cases when somebody wants
 comments longer than that. Then run the same filter on checking the POST
 lengths. Or maybe have a function similar to
 wp_get_comment_content_max_length() that will filter and return the hard-
 coded values.

 Also: what about maxlength and strlen() lengths for the other comment
 fields? If we are adding that for the textarea would be good to add
 everywhere.
