Counting by reference implies something about the indexing system that is unnecessary.

For instance, with one entry in the table that is used, the current system insists on us signaling a Largest Reference of 1.  But most people would treat that entry as being at an index of 0.

The thing that we're sending is the number of inserts.  Describing the field in those terms clarifies things considerably.
