Yes, I was quite disappointed to see WCAG 2.0 failing to include limits or
even guidance on the length, either in the guidelines or the tech.

And Patrick, the 125 was a limit in older versions of Jaws but I don't think
it is now. The figure of 125 chars didn't come from there...I remember
reading something about this a few years back. It was not W3C/WCAG but it
was most certainly accessibility orientated...and as Jared says, there
really needs to be some common sense regarding the method used.
