This is the plan. The idea has been to use bytes only for actual sizes,
and kilobytes for estimates. People were just uncomfortable giving
estimated sizes in a precision unit.
The only remaining reservation I had about the schema was
maxSearchRadius. These services actually all use POS, which is
a diameter not a radius, so this is inconsistent with the service
being described. I did not change this in the schema as I suspect
there are reasons for using a radius at this level for uniformity
across all services, others of which (eg cone) may use radius.
