To me this isn't strong enough.  I have some sympathy for both the
existing base and for parsers, but generators as an architectural
component should generate unambiguous output, streaming or otherwise. 
And that follow's Postel's Law:
   
"In general, an implementation must be conservative in its sending
behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior."
