What exactly do people want with those byte counts?

I don't presume to know what one might want to use that data for.  I am merely
trying to report the most meaningful information possible.

...which means that you can't get a link-layer byte count that pertains to
what was actually sent out over
any network link.

It was just an example.  I have similar Ethernet captures, so substitute a 14
byte Ethernet header for a 16-byte Linuxed cooked capture.  The point and
question remains.  What is the most accurate/desirable/expected number to report?
