100 attributes limit in PutAttributes call	Amazon SimpleDB currently limits the number of attributes per single PutAttributes call to 100. You can add up to 256 attribute name-value pairs per item, but you must use multiple PutAttributes calls.
Query limitation: 256 bytes per attribute value literal	Amazon SimpleDB doesn't allow strings longer than 256 bytes to be used as attribute values in query expressions. For example, in the query expression ['<attribute name>' = '<attribute value>'], <attribute value> cannot exceed 256 bytes in length. This limitation is temporary and will be removed in a future release.
REST interface doesn't support UTF-8	Amazon SimpleDB currently doesn't support UTF-8 characters in REST requests. If you need to use UTF-8 strings in your application please use the SOAP interface. This limitation is temporary and will be removed in a future release.
