Thank you both for the detailed infos!
So, expressing this in terms mostly known from backups, 5.0.4 is an *incremental* update from 5.0.0 instead of a *differential* one from 5.0.3, right? Wise choice, and explains the larger size.

Well, they probably don't downright WANT (or encourage) us to do it, but at least they seem to TOLERATE it (leave the door open). This is pretty much the hope that I was expressing in some of the posts in the jailbreak thread -- give users the freedom to experiment with the device (at their own risk), and in the end, it can be beneficial for both the users and the "reputation" of the company (in the "hacker" community). Two thumbs up for Amazon!
