Maybe it would be good to integrate with the validation API module?

http://drupal.org/project/validation_api

IT already has the framework setup to handle cck fields (in fact any form field) not just title and body, has a UI that can be hooked into, has a 6.x release already. Can add "validate this" links to all form fields.

Seems like this might be a better solution?

Status: Active » Closed (works as designed)

The Drupal 6 version of Maxlength is no longer supported so I'm marking this Closed (works as designed).

I also encourage you, if you haven't already, to upgrade your site to Drupal 8/9. We are actively maintaining that version and you would enjoy all of the other features of the latest version of Drupal.
