I'd hope that browser developers would think of that and limit the length and/or trim whitespace... :-/

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Probably not with whitespace, but I've seen lots of times other stuff being used to lengthen the name artificially... such as "OH NOES! CLICK OK TO CONTINUE THIS IS A SAFE PAGE. YOU CAN WIN MONEY IF YOU CLICK NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WDZ IS DA LAZYN355!" ETC. :P

Which is exactly what is being done currently. Not banning, since it was never made as a form of span, more like a mistake, but if it is used as an intent of spamming, be sure it will be taken care of.
