How limited is a strictly conforming program?

[Karl Heuer]

S1.7 of the pANS says "A strictly conforming program ... shall not exceed any
minimum implementation limit".  Does this include the limits in S2.2.4.1?  I
would think so, but the text refers only to the minimum quality of the
implementation.  Is a program still strictly conforming if it has more than
509 characters in a string literal?  (And does that figure include the
trailing null character, or not?)
