Oh, I though this would just be for inproc connections.  As in, the total size of all buffers should be SNDHWM + RCVHWM.  For TCP, there are buffers on either side of the network connection, and so you get this by having one side create a SNDHWM buffer, and the other create a RCVHWM buffer.  It's only in the inproc connection — where there's only a single buffer — where you'd have to add together the values to get the correct buffer size.
