It should be simple to make things predictable by saying that the server MUST (SHOULD?) support only one quota if it allows that quota to be authored via the mechanism in this draft. In practice, there is usually one important size limitation. On a service like sharemation or Apple's iDisk, that's the quota. On a hard drive that's the drive size. Even though in theory there may be a size-limited hard drive behind a quota-limiting system, it won't change how things work except in extremely rare cases. And let's not design a system that is optimized for the extremely rare cases. Lisa
