It could be that x5u ought to have had a length.

It could also be that we ought to invent a mechanism to annotate a URL with
the length of the thing that is expected.  Especially for data with a hash
that is supposed to match.

As for certificate chains: quantum safe certificate chains could be large.
1MB is not a good threshold here; 100Mb might be.
