Which is why you're not in marketing. ;)

Even a proxy may need to really.  Imagine an outbound proxy handling numerous 
endpoints to the registrar, with one TCP connection to the registrar - if it 
passes any body size up to the registrar willy-nilly, any endpoint's random 
10MB body will impact message forwarding for all others due to HOL. (heck, 
given the horsepower of some nodes, a 64KB body could too)  Then there's also 
the reality of TCP not being exactly ubiquitous, to put it mildly, and the odds 
of a >64KB message making it not being too high.
