IDK if it's true that these are only used by the OS - the user agent uses these strings too. Happy for it to be a non-normative note - truncating characters is actually fraught with weirdness due to multi-character sequences now etc, so it would be helpful to document here limits to prevent those breakages.

User agents can't just allow any string here to be displayed in full, as it'll cause weird UX issues with dialogs / menu items / etc. This was the purpose of, say, `short_name`.
