Mike, I feel when you write 'mostly', you really touch the heart of the matter. I agree that most of the time, 15 chars are enough. It seems to me the question is for the cases (about 10-15%?) where 15 chars are not enough and you have to choose either immediate readability or strict compliance with the limit.
