OutputStream or Writer inside StreamResult always get flushed by Transformer.transform()





------- Additional Comments From keshlam@us.ibm.com  2001-10-05 09:48 -------
Excessive calls to flush() may be a performance issue, but should never change 
the actual result written out ... unless your OutputStream or Writer is making 
unjustified assumptions about flush being called only at the end of datastream.

I'm inclined to knock this down to being an Enhancement request rather than a 
Normal severity bug. It would be a nice feture to have, and it looks like we 
might have started to implemented it at one point and never finished the job... 
but I don't think it makes any practical difference for real-world application 
code.

Any objections?
