Okay well the data is not static, so I do not believe the length is
known until the transaction completes (A search for example, the site
can't provide any length information, until the search, dynamic stuff
is generated),. You cite "if pre-known", what if it's not pre-known,
than what is one suppose to do in this scenario?
