1 Agree with SBN: the number needs to be revised to be compiant with hard media approved for deep archiving 2 Based on Annes blog, we need to set the upper limit to 255 to retain ISSO 9660. I would vote yes with that change. 3 per Annes argument that it violates ISO 9660 4 The length requested (287 characters) violates the ISO 9660 standard.

Vote to RECOMMEND version 3 of the SCR be moved to Implementation stage.

1(also requires change to "NAME" keyword.) 2But I am a little worried that some of these labels/files will become unreadable if the new, longer length options are taken to extremes.
