[OpenID] Attribute Exchange size of attributes

[Dick Hardt]

That is not specified. Given it is being moved as a POST from the  
users machine, there are some practical limits given user experience  
(browser is stalled while waiting for POST to complete) and bandwidth  
available at most browsers. Right now any limits would be  
implementation dependent. I don't see a need to spec that until there  
is a problem. Happy to hear other arguments.
