inaccurate size reported by svn ls

Hi,

I notice that svn ls appears to report size inaccurately:

svn cat http://.../file | wc -c
1855

vs

svn ls --xml http://.../file

...
<size>1710</size>
...

I get the same result if I log into the server and svn ls the file via
the
file:// protocol.

Am I misunderstanding what size is supposed to be, or is this a bug?

client and server are both 1.5.4, server is using FSFS.

Dave
