I'm starting to think it would be very useful to have a Flushable concept, which would allow components to advertise that they can send all buffered data downstream at any time. I haven't given it much though yet, but I think it would allow OuputFilters to be inserted and removed in the middle of processing a character sequence, as Dietmar suggested.

This would make it possible to write a processor for a PDF file that contains several 'stream' objects, each with different filters (LZW compression, ASCII85 encoding, JPEG images, etc.).
