RE: Is it possible to use the string validation to validate the i
nputs maxlength?
The StringValidator does not have this functionality, but you could easily
make your own class that validated strings and validated based on max length
as well. Look at the org.apache.tapestry.valid.StringValidator class, it's
pretty straightforward.

You _should_ be able to. But the HTML specification(s) lacks this kind of
support. We'll just have to wait for XForms to be _properly_ supported. Have
a look at the XForms page at W3C: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/

If I'm not mistaken, you can't set the max length of a textarea.

This IS an easy task, at least if you know a little bit about the encoding.
I see this as an issue. I'll go ahead and add it to Bugzilla, if it is not
already done by someone else.

What if someone manually modifies the query string? I don't think this
is a particularly easy task, but there's always someone out there
trying to thwart web apps . . . Or is this not so much of an issue?

This has been asked for informally; it should be added to bugzilla.
Given that you can set maxlength of an <input>, I didn't see this as a priority :-)
