Re: ISSUE-119: names lengthComputable and total

Hi,
To the question in ISSUE-119 whether "[...] they already get implemented 
with these names somewhere?", the answer would yes given that the Final 
Release of "JSR-280 XML API" (http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=280) 
defines the following methods based on the already existing names:


|boolean|  |*getLengthComputable <cid:part1.04030001.07090808@sun.com>*()|
          Specifies whether the total size of the transfer is known.
| int|  |*getLoaded <cid:part2.06010709.09060405@sun.com>*()|
          Specifies the number of bytes downloaded since the beginning 
of the download.
| int|  |*getTotal <cid:part3.02060700.06050607@sun.com>*()|
          Specifies the expected total number of bytes of the content 
transferred in the operation.
