#2At least for now, you can get around the 100 char limit for titles in YCNews by first submitting with a shorter title and then editing it to have all the chars you want.

I am not advocating it :-)
I wanted to give the gist without the user having to click thru to find out. Those who want to actually use that JS library will click through, of course.
Plus, won't you agree with the "because I can" factor in wanting to try it? :-)

Inputs: LongTitle and CharacterLimit

I actually did that the first time: "JS lib to make IE behave like a standards-compliant brwsr. Fixes HTML,CSS,PNG issues under IE5 & 6." (exactly 100 chars)
But when you can trick the system to let you have more than 100 chars, its kinda cool to do it.

This hole isn't there because I wasn't aware of it, but because I trust users here. Writing code to enforce rules is boring, so my general approach to abuse is to wait for it to happen before I expend time preventing it.
