I approve any solution that warns or disallow renaming sheet names > MAX chars,
e.g. by set the max sheet char field length to this same limit in "edit"/rename
mode to avoid any such "user" problems. 

It would also be a good idea to issue a save file warning when saving file in
MS office supported primary formats like .xlsx - as it is more or less
impossible to know what is repaired or removed from file (here sheet names are
truncated). Or even better to introduce some general compatibility function
that includes several known problems/checks with other office products - as it
seems to be hard for users to know what is repaired or broken - when
compatibility issues are encountered.

By using a general compatibility or sanity check it lets the users themselves
control what do do - instead of seeing a warning on every save (which some
users may do not approve).
