The 1000 limit is a guess, it could change if it breaks web sites.

IE and Opera do not have a limit. They eat up all the available memory and then
crash.
FireFox does not support setting the length on HTMLSelectElemet and throws a
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR exception. This behavior is based on the spec in
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/html.html#ID-94282980. 

I thought that we still want to be compatible with IE and Opera, hence the
limit.
