I somehow doubt that a policy decision like this should be made at
this layer.  Shouldn't it be encoded in the capability the other
side supports, or determined at runtime per each individual object
when a "put" is attempted (i.e. allow the other side to say "You
tell me that you want me to store an object of type X and size Y;
I cannot do that, sorry").
