Lines 95 to 96 in 5b6daa0

    
              The length should be limited to no more than 
        
              63 characters (imposed by the HDF5 :index:`rules <rules; HDF5>` for names).

does not make sense in light of H5Gcreate1:

The length of a group name, or of the name of any object within a group, is not limited.

Neither is any limit mentioned in HDF5 Path Names
