Why not require the server to issue a [LITERALPLUSSIZE nnn] whenever the server's state changes the value it's prepared to deal with.  That makes it agnostic to any existing and future extensions.

You could then set limits by user, by folder, by user+folder, etc.  Lots of flexibility, and it never has to be updated for follow-on capabilities.  (I run in fear of the 64-bit proposal.)
