Actually, you are correct, that would be more flexible.
I was thinking along the lines of tying the Close call to
the genxEndDocument call, saving the programmer one call.
But who says you need to close the stream - maybe you want to
write several documents in succession before closing it.
Looking at my own implementation - I don't close the target
there either. Should have checked before.
