Well nothing will break if you have an empty full name or description. It
just will look weird. I don't mind either way if the UI (editor) enforces
rules like this; likewise for maximum lengths (just pick a reasonable
length). The backend won't enforce it, which means users *can* do strange
things if they really want to, but they aren't security problems.
