What’s the danger that you see?
The alternative would be to deprecate using this input method.  I don’t 
see any reason for that: it’s a useful tool, so we shouldn’t keep such 
limitations as this.  Perhaps it would make sense to organise the list 
in NR A.13 with subheadings, that’s the only issue I /would/ see with a 
much larger number of entries.
