Are you asking about tag names greater than 64K, or content?  
Please say content.  :-)

Regardless, I don't believe Java has a String length restriction.  I
just wrote a sample program that constructs a 1,000,000 character
string, and it worked fine.  Now I seem to recall method bodies have a
64K restriction; maybe you're thinking of that.
