Ok, than I'll start to look through this language-neutral lens on the term "Stream". In my proposal I used the Stream return type to provide access to binary content. (e.g. unparsed entities) Some of you criticized that a (Input/Output)Stream is very Java-centric. But is this true? IMO, a Stream is a basic term which most (all?) languages provide.
