Title: sessionHandle and entityInstanceID size
Date Added: 1-Dec-2002
Document Section:   v0.85/5.1.1 & 5.1.2
Description:

"entityInstanceID should be of a maximum size of <256 as it is a string passed to the Producer, and which the Producer may want to use as a key. This is exactly like entityHandle and registrationHandle, which the Consumer may want to use as a database key, and thus is restricted to <256. A rename to consumerEntityInstanceHandle may indicate its use better and also restrict it to a 256 character length limit.
, on the other hand, does not refer to anything in the spec, and is just an opaque string that the Producer uses to store information on the Consumer side, just like entityState or registrationState. Thus, the limit of 256 on its length is not neccesary. A rename of sessionHandle to sessionState may indicate its use better and also remove the 256 character length limit."
