No, it means that it can serve different kinds of consumers.  It doesn't
force servlets to do things in terms of strings (or writers, like Melati
does) if they don't want to, and it doesn't force other apps to use 
output streams.   It makes it easier for both kinds of consumers.

What we are doing now is CLOSER to this, not farther.  You're just
resisting the change because its work, not because its better or worse.

Wrong.  You only have to use ONE of them.  Pick which is more
convenient and just use it!
