I'm not an SGML expert, but in the SGML-Handbook, on p346 numbers are
introduced as a special case of a name token. On p 347 it is stated
explicitly stated that the length of numbers thus is limited by the
NAMELEN, which defaults to 8, but can be overriden (and usually is)
in the SGML-declaration. So where is the problem?
