I believe the limitation is more related to browsers rather than what
the server can handle.  For instance this article (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q208427/ ) suggests that IE could not
handle more than 2,083 characters (ver 5.5).

I would say another reason in my book to avoid super long urls is that
it may inhibit the end user's ability to do things with the URL, such
as email it.
