I have to admit that during the recent changes to WP I desperatly needed 8 bytes extra data per stored message while maintaining compatibility with existing data (and even old WP versions operating on the data) ...

.. and ended up taking these 8 bytes from the area name field, reducing the fully supported area name size internally to 51 characters+terminating zero. That day I was under the assumption, that I had the 60-character limited self-imposed ...

Since this not really existis in the wild, I should fix it ... but its non-triavial as i REALLY needed those 8 bytes ... Damn!

Regards,
Tim
