I think I asked this in another mail, but I'm quite tired, so just to
make sure: What do you mean by "value"? I might be weird (I'm not a
native speaker, so I probably make funny and wrong connotations from
time to time), but while I can accept "content" to include the type and
size of the object, the term "value" makes me want to exclude those
pieces of meta data. So "value" somehow feels wrong to me, as the hash
covers those two fields.
