 This may very well be a wontfix, as it's in regards to the mason-generated
 forms code, but entering it if nothing else to remind us to not carry this
 over into the T templates...

 The limit on length for input in the track and other fields which were
 previously limited has been removed.  However, there still is a maxlength
 attribute being assigned to those fields, in the HTML.  Thus, the only way
 to actually enter a very long title, in those cases where you need to, is
 to use a tool - such as firebug - to remove that attribute from the field,
 to allow the entry of 255+ chars.
