Not true. Although not usually enforced, HTML's SGML declaration
*does* define a maximum length (see
<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/sgmldecl.html>):
ATTSPLEN 65536
This limits the total length of attribute names and values, as
contained in the start-tag, to 2^16 characters.
LITLEN 65536
This limits the length of any one attribute literal to 2^16
characters.
