You said (and I have already conceded that you might be technically correct based on your later qualifications) that 85 was the limit.....
Quite clearly your Title displays 86 bytes......
If I were a user who asked you to send me a string of 85 bytes I would feel somewhat aggrieved because what you have sent me is 86 long - It wouldn't fit.......
Just because you "know" what you meant (or conversely are able to bulltulip your user that "they" are wrong) doesn't actually make you right.....
All it does is make it clear that you need "someone" between you and real people to interpret your "I am a Techno-God" moonshine into something useful.....
So at the end of the day we are both happy - cos you can go into a dark room with your little beanie hat muttering about 1/2 words, 7byte ASCII etc
and I can interact with real people who don't try to cover up a simple misunderstanding with bollox.....*
OK That last bit is going too far cos "they" probably only really "need" 80 bytes but added a few for "luck"......
