More text making it clear that sizes in POP should be advisory could 
be helpful.  I'm not sure why the size needs to be consistent, 
though.  For example, if a server uses a guestimate initially, but 
then does a conversion and learns the exact size, why shouldn't it 
start returning the exact size?
