Dear WG,

Please, kindly understand that not specifying useful functionality, because it
*may* be implemented, is a user's hell.

At present XProc doesn't mandate any streaming, and leaves this entirely to
each individual implementation.

>From the XProc spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/xproc/#external-docs) :

 "Whether (and when and how) or not the intermediate results that pass
 between steps are ever written to a filesystem is
 implementation-dependent."

Another recent bug resolution -- 24648 -- again leaves an important feature on
the whim of a particular implementor.

So, we end up with: Implementation1(Feature1) and Implementation2(Feature2).

I feel sad for the user who needs both Feature1 and Feature2.

Hope to have an official reply that this user's hell is what the WG really
plans for us.

Regards,
Dimitre Novatchev
