They may be all over the map, but in general they address your statement about "non-XML response writers" being flexible enough to generate a different type of response (although admittedly, none are as clear at the XMLWriter examples, I'll give you that).

True! I guess it's just aesthetics. I can go either way, but I dunno.

You give a little, you get a little back. Maybe a compromise is to called it NamedListResponseWriter, b/c that's really what it writes, no? Naming can be a pain -- I'll try and think of a good one when I'm preparing the patch for SOLR-1649. Thanks for the discussion. Helps to clarify things!
