This is very interesting, indeed. Like the others, I would argue that there is a problem with the software that is doing the translation of the form to braille. This seems to me to be a perfect case where the maxlength attribute on the form should be used, and in fact seen as informative by the software. A text input that takes a two-letter state abbreviation should be have a maxlength of 2 for all users. If the braille software isn't using that, perhaps it should be? I can't think of any cases (off the top of my head) where using the maxlength attribute in this manner would be a problem... Cheers, Derek.
