depends on what question you want to answer with RSS. If the question is "workload working set size" then you are right. If the question is "how much ram does my application cause to be used" the answer is FAR less clear....
You seem to have an implicit definition on what RSS should mean; but it's implicit. Mind making an explicit definition of what RSS should be in your opinion? I think that's the biggest problem we have right now; several people have different ideas about what it should/could be, and as such we're not talking about the same thing. Lets first agree/specify what it SHOULD mean, and then we can figure out what gets counted for that ;)
