Comment (by zooko):

 Brian: I think we *are* supposed to rely on that number in the cap--it is
 canonical and not just a hint.

 Although actually now that I think about it, that was one of those things
 that I "tightened" and that you, I think, changed back to some degree when
 you write Brian's New Downloader.

 IIRC my "tightened" interpretation of all those fields is still intact in
 the verifier but not in your new downloader. Might be interesting to see
 what the verifier says about that cap.
