This draft should be clarified slightly.
It has the idea of a "chunk" but does not adequately define it in relation
to existing standard concepts. Why is "chunk" necessary when we already
have "document" and "entity" defined?
More specifically, the draft does not explicitly state whether the chunk
must be well-formed: are chunks like SGML entitities that can be
concatenated to form the eventual document regardless of nesting?

Rick,
Good questions. To answer them, a chunk is just a sequence of octets of the
total data to be transfered, the size of which is up to the implementation.
They do not have to be well-formed.
I'll add some clarifying text.
