I dunno... but I wrote a web content publishing system for my business and haven't run into a user complaining that they've run into the 64KB limit. The limit's there... but they're not putting 60K characters in any one field.
One thing I do to alleviate this is basically create a "content" field, and "frame" fields for lack of a better term based off of what their site preferences are (ie, 1/2/3 "frames", etc.) and allow the person to modify a top, left and right - frames section via HTMLarea fields either for each "page" or globally via a "profile" document. I then allow them to place the meat of the page in the "content" field - it's a hack to get around the 64Kb limit, but I haven't gotten a complaint yet!
Also, isn't it against today's web "design" standards to have a page scroll *too* much? I thought I read somewhere that you shouldn't have a page scroll past 2 "lengths".
Maybe I'm out of line here Jake, but while I agree that limitations like this are showing us that the product's developers aren't understanding our and our customers' needs, it sounds like you're upset that your car doesn't go 210mph when the sensible speed limit is 45. It's piss that they're limiting us, I agree, but even if they didn't... wouldn't you still put a cap on your application not unlike what you're doing now?

I dunno... my 2 cents.
