A small oversight. I will fix this.

No. Where possible they use a stream.

The entire provider interface is this (browse #getArgumentsFrom: and the 
senders of #argumentGetter:):

fullName (returns a String with the full filename)
dirAndFileName (returns {directory. fileName})
readOnlyStream (returns an open read-only stream)

That's it.

I wish someone would give me a list of what actually is wrong.

I think that any client that doesn't go poking around in the 
SimpleServiceEntry should be fine.
