I doubt the specification makes any mention of this. FYI, the Xitami web server (at least on Win32 systems) doesn't output any of the CGI's output to the client until the CGI is done, so perhaps it implements CGI with STDOUT directed to a file, which it then reads -- in which case you couldn't even rely on dev & ino fields of stat(STDIN).
