------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Right now we don't support counting the raw bytes send over TCP with NSS,
 but it's possible. To do this, we'd need to use PRFileDesc's layering
 feature, and add a layer whose only purpose is to count bytes.

 This change would make our bandwidth accounting slightly more accurate
 with NSS.

 I think it would be safe to defer this.
