It's not small and contained for the container writers who have to
support that listener. As we already discussed on tomcat-dev, that
would be extremely difficult to do in a performant manner. And JavaDoc
isn't enough to help here.

There's been more demand for a low-level API as described by Craig than
for a live count of bytes in the servlet API, by far, in my experience.
As Craig said, the servlet API is designed to be a higher abstraction,
and consequently most developers who use it don't want to mess with the
low-level details (in fact, most are very happy they don't have to know
about them).
