You could always include your length info into the payload, and make
implementors promise to put it in the first 1KB (for example) of the
stream. Something like this:
<metaFile len="12345" xmlns="urn:microsoft.com:graphics:wmf">
<setAbort len="1">shpl0itz!</setAbort>
</metaFile>
Please remember that you can't fully trust this kind of number that
comes in over the wire, and it makes no difference whether it's in- or
out-of-band. Luckily we have ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException... :)
