I think there is a misunderstanding. I do not mean an offset that

Yes, I did misunderstood. What you propose is probably better, at
least as far as HTTP and similar protocols are concerned. I just find
the naming of the parameter misleading. So let's have two parameters:
        Wont-Use-Body: offset
and
        Pause-At-Body: offset
both using offsets from the beginning of a message body. These NR
parameters are semantically equivalent to Wont-Use parameter and
Data-Pause message already documented in OCP Core (and you should
refer to that documentation from the HTTP draft as much as possible
instead of repeating it, IMO).

From processor implementation point of view, the above parameters
become meaningful when the size of headers is known. At that time, the
processor should behave as if it received a corresponding Wont-Use
parameter and/or Data-Pause message.
