Feed Manager: Long URLs

Hi Joe, as you know I've been using Yahoo! Pipes to reprocess some URLs for Feed Manager consumption. Well, now I've hit a problem with one I'm working on for our library. They have a calendar site that can output RSS (but it doesn't have date/times on each link), so I created a pipe that will accept their calendar URL as input, and add the date/time field to the feed. It works great, but I'm hitting a limit with the Feed Manager URL max length of 255. Yahoo wants the input URL encoded, and some of these URLs can be exceptionally long (I identified one that's over 600 characters after encoding). Would it be possible to extend the URL length in Feed Manager to something like 1024? Will using such long URLs cause other issues I may not be aware of?

Thanks as always,

Jamie

Best,
