The current  protocol.txt says that the maximum lenght of a key is 250 
characters.

Is there any hashing done in the server to prevent storage of the key or 
is the entire key stored so that the server can rehash if necessary?
    

The entire key is stored and matched when necessary.

  
Why isn't this documented anywhere.  Should we be recommending that people use short keys when possible?
