>[...]it reports the available buffer space (see the Doxygen).

I should point out that real sockets do not report this information.  Not that
it hurts to have extra info, but there was never any application written to
take this value into consideration...

I also think the documentation for the DataSend callback is too detailed; it
should simply state something like "callback is called when there is room in
the socket transmit buffer to accept more data for transmission".  The reasons
why the room is made available should not be documented, else they become part
of the API and changing the buffer management algorithm will essencially break
the API, which should be avoided where possible.
