It seems like the general advice should be something along the lines of, "applications should not use a stream's receive buffer to store data while they wait for more data to arrive, as this can potentially lead to deadlock. instead they should read data out of the buffers expeditiously."

Really receive buffers should only be used to store data when the application is temporarily blocked from processing data and should be read as soon as the application is unblocked. What do you think?
