That's what I had in mind. Um:
The byte:count metadata item for an article is a decimal integer.
It MUST equal the number of bytes in the entire article - headers, body,
and separating blank line - except that the US-ASCII CRLF at the end
of each line MAY (but SHOULD NOT) be counted as a single byte.
[I know Andrew will have problems with the MUST. I'll address those
separately.]
