Yes, and of course Opera has excellent "site patching" opportunities 
[1] if they don't change it so for us it isn't much of a problem. I 
am still worried about this since we've found two relatively 
important sites already. I think the feature is nice but would vote 
for naming the attribute "filesize" instead.
