Definitely.  That, and the max-read and max-write attributes.

There is at least one test that issues a WARNING when my server returns 
128k (its max read size) rather than the requested 9000000 count.

I have not investigated that yet, but I was sorta assuming that my 
server was behaving correctly in that case.
