You're right, but with 50 being the *maximum* allowed (not a required
amount), I'd assume that using less would always suffice.
And with the warning in mind while typing, it's probably sufficient
(although I can think of two of my users who wouldn't stop at a 100)<bg>

You can warn users that the cell is limited to 50 characters, but do you expect them to count each letter as they type? There's nothing built in that will alert them when they've reached the limit.
