Quasiparadoxes of massless QED

We show that the limit me=0 in the conventional QED is not smooth. In contrast to the massless QED the massive QED, however small the mass is, involves finite probability chirality breaking processes. The chirality breaking effects may be observed provided the size of experimental installation is greater than the formation length ∼ E/m2. We discuss also the finite cross sections of virtual longitudinal photon production and scattering in massless QED recently found by Gorsky, Ioffe and Khodjamirian and argue that real longitudinal photons do not interact while the limit of zero virtuality is not smooth.
