Should the message include (optionally) the size of the data announced by this message #9

In the latest version, the "size" of the data to be downloaded (if it is downloadable data - so no API), is not included in the message. Shall we make it an acceptable but optional information?

I think size is a useful information. Some users might want to download data only up to a given size limit.

It might also be helpful for caches to have size information beforehand.
