    Yes indeed. For some actual examples of very long URIs (which actualy
    resolve), see tests 121 (single long label) and 122 at
    http://www.w3.org/2004/04/uri-rel-test.html.

    Also, for a discussion of potential length limits in IDNAbis on Unicode
    strings (which, for many good reasons, were ultimately rejected), please
    see the discussion around
    http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-iri/2009Sep/0064.html.
