Currently all ARCH names are 5 characters at most (except prefix, of course). The total length of the KEYWORDS line isn't the main issue here, but tools like eshowkw or tables in the various web interfaces. It is also in GLEP 53 if you need a formal reference: "Note that no limit on the length of both fields in the keyword are imposed. However, we cannot overemphasize our preference to keep keywords small and sensible." Ulrich
