That's fine, and none of it would change for WSGI 2.0, except minor 
details of what wraps what.

Note, by the way, that as of Python 2.5, a generator can have 
try/finally and its close() method will be called when it finishes or 
is garbage collected.  So an app_iter implemented as a generator 
under 2.5 can just use with: or try/finally to handle cleanup -- and 
that applies equally to WSGI 1 and 2.
