should the OutputStream or Writer be flushed?

["Chuck H. Zhao" <ch...@usa.net>]

When I do:

OutputStream myOutputStream = ...;
Transformer.transform( new StreamSouce(...), new StreamResult( 
myOutputStream) );

or

Writer myWriter = ...
Transformer.transform( new StreamSouce(...), new StreamResult( myWriter) );

Should xalan code automatically call flush() method on myOutputStream or 
myWriter?  I think it is desirable that xalan does NOT automatically flush 
the underlying OutputStream or Writer for the result, but in my testing 
they do get flushed.  I am not sure if this is a feature or a bug.  Could 
someone please tell me what is the intended behavior?  If the automatic 
flush is a bug then I will file a bug report.

Thanks.
