+ <div class='note'>
+ If the length of a pattern is greater than max length an
+ implementation of this API could consider breaking the request
+ effectively into multiple shorter requests internally to achieve
+ the same effect, rather than ignoring what follows the max length.
+ There are cases, however, where it is appropriate to ignore the
+ pattern exceeding the max length. An example is if the length is so
+ long that it would effectively create a denial of service attack on
+ the user. A web application might also make multiple requests if it
+ is known to the application that the length is too long for some
+ implementations and a possible gap in between patterns is
+ acceptable.
