One other possibility that was not mentioned was using the QUOTA extension. 
That does have an extensibility mechanism that would allow a MAXAPPEND 
property.

That said I personally would prefer an ANNOTATEMORE approach as I do see 
this as being useful for both 'static' server limits as well as 'dynamic' 
per-mailbox quota limits. Different server implementations/deployments will 
likely have one or other of those limits so we need to provide a way to 
handle both.

Adding a /limits/ entry hierarchy for ANNOTATEMORE would be easy and would 
allow for specifying other limits if they are needed (e.g. MAXKEYWORDS, 
MAXSEARCHTERMS etc).
