That's correct.  But eliminating start_response() and write() is 
really the main point of *having* a WSGI 2.0.

It may... but the only applications that should be yielding anything 
are ones that are sending large files, doing server push, or 
explicitly *desire* to be interleaved in such fashion.

If your app isn't in one of those categories, you should just be 
yielding a single string to begin with.
