We prefer to not top-post on these lists, just fyi.

For my part, at least, I like the idea- but I'd encourage thinking about
what we might do in a mixed-response situation too, as that's something
that's been discussed as at least desirable. As long as we aren't
ending up painting ourselves into a corner somehow (which it doesn't
seem like we are, but I've not looked deeply at it) and we don't break
any existing clients, I'd generally be supportive of such an
improvement. Constantly sending "this 4-byte int is 4 bytes long"
certainly does seem like a waste of bandwidth.

Thanks,

Stephen
