And then comes along yet another compression format that has no intention of providing a header. Which one would go first then? I think the contract of the factory is to "detect the stream if possible". If there is no definite way of detecting a stream then let's document and don't bother. Of course we could be user friendly and add the heuristic but that's like opening a can of worms.
