I would guess because a lot of existing code expects that limitation and is
coded to use string functions which check and limit it to that. I guess you
would need to basically create a new 'node' type and library calls that
programs could switch to talk to these long socket names. [I expect that if
we were to look at things that we would find that node names also need to
be ASCII and UTF-8 names would also blow up a lot of programs]
