Yes, and this has proven by example that this is the wrong way to go. 
PrintStream has been a disaster for interoperable network 
programming. PrintStream based programs have lots of unexpected bugs 
that manifest on only some platforms. I wrote about this extensively 
in Java I/O. JDOM should learn from the mistakes in the Java class 
library, not repeat them.
