There > are three reasons for this restriction. > > 1. Many phones in the market as of this writing still do not accept > large payloads.

On a slow connection such as 2G mobile connection, a large URL > would cause the slow response and therefore the use of such is > not advisable from the user experience point of view. What is the third reason? Also, 512 bytes at 2G speeds (~40Kb/s) take ~100ms to transmit; it's not clear that larger payloads would therefore be so much worse, given that the 2G latencies are probably the overriding issue here. Would a SHOULD NOT suffice? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All comments below are very minor change suggestions that you may choose to incorporate in some way (or ignore), as you see fit. There is no need to let me know what you did with these suggestions.
