Why do you think it would be better? The validators for these fields already enforce the length.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think setting the max_length option adds an html maxlength attribute to the field which might be interesting but specifying min_length doesn't add anything useful here.

No Simon, you are not wrong. So let's accept it on the base that max_length might be useful for constructing the widget.

charettes (Simon) : html5 minLength provides the input argument.
While Django does used it yet, i feel good to make explicit...not necessarily required.

In my patch, i think the key element is to use CharField instead of Field for at least benefit from "max" and "min_length".

Ergonomically, I think that a user always prefers a frame imposed as a false freedom.
In our case, if the validator strength size, why would it be possible to have a longer field?
