For normal validation, it's 20<strlen<100, when in relaxed mode it's
3<strlen<1000.

A style warning is just that; it's going to look a little different to
most other apps but with no real harm. If you use:

appstream-util validate-relax usr/share/appdata/hedgewars.appdata.xml

...then the style warnings go away, and this is probably what you want
to use if you're using it in a .spec file. I hope that helps,
