A more radical proposal would be to switch to a callback-style API. See http://bjouhier.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/node-js-stream-api-events-or-callbacks/
Isaac's proposal is a move in the same direction (a read method). The main difference is that Isaac uses a completion "event" while I use a completion "callback". A point that I did not mention in my post: the callback API makes it trivial to implement an "unread" method. Handy when you need to look ahead when parsing input.
