Right, but my point is that that's no better than the current 
non-streaming (and much simpler than this) method that Seasided 2.3 
uses, right?  In both cases, the browser can't begin rendering until the 
entire seaside rendering phase is complete.  With the streaming 
functionality, the browser can start rendering immediately...
