no, the line count counts the body only, excluding the blank line that
separates headers from body. (the byte count does include headers)

The client MUST NOT rely on the accuracy of the byte count (there are
several circumstances in which the server may not be able to return it
precisely).

Should there be a requirement somewhere that the first optional field,
if present, SHOULD be Xref:?
