With regard to MOSS

1) Is there a 256 char limitation on Bread Crumb?

I thought that the character limit was on the URL.

Change the display name for each site:

1. Goto Site Settings from the Site Actions menu.
2. Under the Look and Feel section, choose Title, description and icon
3. Change the display name as desired.

Tried your suggestion. But that changes only the site title /
description and not the display name of the bread crumb. For example
if I have a folder/document name as "WWW", I would like the bread
crumb to display "ShareDocuments > World Wide Web". ie., folder name
should be retained shorter to accomodate 260 char URL limitation but
bread crumb should display expanded names. How can I achieve this?
Is there any custom web part to achieve this?
