Subject: RE: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [cti-stix] Unicode, strings, and STIX


I don't think specifying a maximum size for a STIX file makes much sense.  As was said before almost no protocol specifies a maximum size and I'm not aware of any major file format that specifies a maximum size of under 4GB and the ones that do only give this limit because they encode file size as a 4 byte integer.

If your system can't handle a file of a given size then rejecting the file is always a valid option, but that isn't the job of the spec.

I'm against suggesting a storage size in bytes, because that means on object serialized one way, and the same object serialized another way could be invalid due to the encoding...
