After some brief discussion today, we plan to do what George suggested unless there are other comments:  fix the semantics of SendCallback to match that of asynchronous sockets, fix the underlying implementation to enforce a finite send buffer, and move the existing callback (which is non-standard sockets) to another name such as TransmitCallback and document that it is not a standard sockets call.
