You are providing yourself the best argument: it is "deutschland", not
"deutchland" ;>). The more complicated the string, the higher the chance to
misspell it.
This said, we should make the difference between the already established
ccTLDs (why change them?) and the to-be-established new TLDs.
I am not aware of any limitation on the size of the string of the latter:
ICANN will not refuse a proposal on the basis of the length of the string
only (but the fact that the majority of the proposed strings are short
should tell us something).

Roberto
