Hi Sean, Joe, Eric and all,
I would like to address my thoughts/suggestions on 2 issues in option a.
1) The data limit should be addressed in term of blocks, not records. When the 
record size is not the full size, some user might not know what to do. When the 
record size is 1 block, the limit of 2^24.5 blocks (records) is way too low 
unnecessarily for the margin of 2^-60.  In that case, 2^34.5 1-block records is 
the limit which still achieves the margin of 2^-60.

I respectfully disagree. TLS deals in records not in blocks, so in the end any 
semantic change here will just confuse implementors, which isn't a good idea in 
my opinion.

Over the discussion of the PRs, the preference was blocks.

Quynh.



Aaron
