This is not correct. For this model:
class Tag(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=4)
I see max_length being respected in the corresponding ModelForm:

>>> tf.is_valid()
False
>>> tf.errors
{'name': [u'Ensure this value has at most 4 characters (it has 8).']}
>>> quit()
What exactly did you try that led you to the conclusion that max_length is
not respected by ModelForms?
