OK. One of the things I intended to keep leaving to the "host" spec was
definining what the size actually refers to.

I'd think we would like this to consistently refer to the entity body for all usage of progress events as to not confuse people using the API. It seems odd to take great care in order and naming but not in consistent
implementation of the event objects.

At the very least we can define that for HTTP request, headers are not
used. For things like WebSocket and FutureAwesomeMegaAlienProtocol it
might make sense to do something different, perhaps.

Right. This is ISSUE-4 which was resolved to do it the way the spec does it now (after having it defined in the spec when it was Web API issue 108).

While it makes sense to describe what most things do, this seems a case where it might be reasonable to leave it to the spec. Although I am open to defining it (like other stuff) with a default of not counting transaction metadata/overhead, saying that specs can choose to override that specifically if they need to.
