"..." means the author had better things to do that count the number of bytes in the body. So to answer your question: No, its not allowed.

Subject: [Simple] Presence : Content-Length header field value

Hi, 
I need some clarification about what Content-Length header 
field value can be. 
Documnet : draft-ietf-simple-presence-07.txt 
Section : 8. Example message flow 
Page : 18 
======================================================= 
When the value of the Content-Length header is "..." this means that 
the value should be whatever the computed length of the body is. 
======================================================= 
In the first reading, this statement indicates that the string 
"..." (thre dots) is a valid Content-Length header field value. 
Co-incidentally, the examples that follow in that section also 
seems to be supporting this interpretation :) 
Please let me know, if this interpretation is correct. 
thanks,
