Length of the local part of e-mails

Hi,

Section 7.2 of USEAGE mentions that a newsgroup name is limited to 66 cha=
racters.
Section 3 of RFC 3696 mentions that the local part of an e-mail address i=
s limited
to 64 characters.

Yet, section 3.5.1 of USEPRO has this note:

3.5.1.  Forwarding Messages to a Moderator

    NOTE:  Deriving the email address of the moderator of a group is outs=
ide
    the scope of this document.  It is worth mentioning, however, that a =
common
    method is to use a forwarding service that handles submissions for ma=
ny
    moderated groups.  For maximum compatibility with existing news serve=
rs,
    such forwarding services generally form the submission address for
    a moderated group by replacing each "." in the <newsgroup-name> with =
"-"
    and then using that value as the <local-part> of a <mailbox> formed
    by appending a set domain.


Shouldn't a warning be put here?  Because the compatibility is not optimu=
m
with mailers when a moderated newsgroup contains 65 or 66 characters.

Or will it be handled by USEAGE?
