RFC 4646 is not very talkative about registry field sizes (unlike the issue of language tag size, which is discussed at length). But the RFC says in 3.1: The content of this field [Comments] is not restricted, except by the need to register the information, the suitability of the request, and by reasonable practical size limitations. 255 seems quite low. Anyway, none of the two proposed XML schemas set a limit on the size of fields (it would not be possible in DTD, anyway). > 2.

The way I read RFC 4646 3.1: record = 1*( field-name *SP ":" *SP field-body CRLF ) Leading spaces at the beginning of a field body (*SP) should not be significant.
