A good idea. Unless one has an absurdly long

possible to add one's name, a link to the talk page and contribs, and

Someone want to file a bug request for this?

I think that's 70 characters including spaces, punctuation and
brackets. Just for reference purposes.
I was thinking about this last night, and he came to mind for me, too.
You could use (2x or 3x user name length + some fixed amount), to let people
have separate links to User: and User talk: pages, which I find useful.
Hmm. I just checked my signature (standard, off the shelf, unprettified).
With 20 chars of username, I get 50 chars total. I definitely want to
support a limit that would eventually let me at least put in a talk page
link eventually.
Tony (and others) - what length and display mode of page editing gets
signatures to the point that they bother you? Past two lines of standard
screen size edit window?
I just checked, with my display settings I get about 130 characters width in
the window. That would imply reasonable break points at 100-130 chars and
200-260 chars if you go by line length with what I guess typical window
widths are.
