I don't understand why you find that.

I 
personally find this as an abuse of the last call process.

Pat, 

Is 
this a wish or an issue for the WG last call?

Julian,

iSCSI-13 uses "length" quite a bit more than 100 
times. Many of those times are in regard to the length of data, headers, and 
PDUs 

e.g.
The basic header segment has a fixed length of 48 
bytes.
Expected Data Transfer Length
Each PDU contains the payload length 
and the data offset....

It also uses size about 40 times with the same 
meaning as length. Most of these are the terms MaxBurstSize and FirstBurstSize 
and text associated with those terms.

It would be better (less likely to 
confuse readers and better for those of us who look for information using search 
tools) to choose one of those terms and always use it when talking about 
length/size. I don't care which is chosen.
