If you want to ask the question a different way and revisit whether 
setUniCodeStream can be considered optional, then do so please and i 
will consider it and have that discussion with the EG.  JDBC drivers 
that have been around since the early days implemented this method.

Hi Lance,

I think this would be a useful discussion to have with the EG. It would 
be great if deprecation made a method optional even though the method 
remained in the api.

Thanks,
