"Untidy" output from df with virtual filesystems

This is probably more of a userland thing, but when I have extra fs's like
proc and shm mounted I get, what might be called, confusing output from
df. Like this...

[lawrence@aslak lawrence]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 3.9G 2.6G 1.1G 70% /
none 4.0T 4.0T 0 100% /proc
/dev/hda5 2.4G 1.8G 443M 81% /home
none 4.0T 4.0T 0 100% /dev/pts
/var/shm 4.0G 0 4.0G 0% /var/shm

Does that really look right to give proc and so on "huge" Sizes? I can
see size being valid for Shm (total shared memory maybe?) but anyway...
just thought someone might have some comments. My df seems to be
version: df (GNU fileutils) 4.0. There is a --all switch to df so it
shows 0 block file systems. Which seems to say that proc etc should be
that type?
