I guess the document can specify an absolute minimum and allow
implementations to support bigger line lengths.
For an example see RFC 3461 chapter 5.4. Anything over the RFC
2821 limit 512 is documented resulting in a limit 1036 for DSN.
This can get rather long for the various DIGEST-MD5 parameters,
especially realm, nonce, cnonce, user, auth-"uri", and authzid.
Plus parameters with smaller limits, algorithm, qop, nc, digest,
stale, maxbuf, charset, prep, and cipher-opts, depending on the
chosen DIGEST-MD5 variant. The example in RFC 4643 is:

356 chars. for short values like nntp/localhost and a simple realm.
