I fully agree with you. However, there are some places where some manual tuning is required since automatic handling is too costly. Think for example to the pool sizes, which is IMO a much more difficult and critical problem. But we can do something to help the user : when an error occurs, we try to reset the output buffer (see HttpEnvironment.tryResetResponse()). A more explicit message logged there when the response couldn't be reset, inviting the user to increase the buffer size. Also, a nice "what should I do when output and error are intermixed on screen" FAQ could also to the trick...
