From API perspective I do care. Web developers shouldn't need to know
about the protocol, yet (s)he should be able to understand what
bufferedAmount means.
An explanation like "it's how much data is buffered to be sent over
network" seems adequate to me.
We have a suggested patch that implements the proposed new behavior
for WebKit now, but I think that it adds unnecessary complexity, and
puts limits on how we can refactor the code in the future. We need to
remember frame boundaries for much longer, making it difficult to
interface with general purpose networking code.
I'd prefer sticking to the previously specified behavior.
