Karl,
I'm sort of confused by this proposal. What is the driver here? It
seems like the overall goal is to have reset() return a boolean
stating whether it was actually implemented by the subclass of
TokenStream?

To avoid break backwards compatibillity with extentions of the
TokenStream currently in trunk one could introduce something like
this:
> /**
> * @param requireConfirmedReset
> * @throws ResetException An IOException thrown if parameter
requireReset
> * was set true and the stream could not be reset.
> */
> public void reset(boolean requireConfirmedReset)
> throws IOException, ResetException {
> reset();
> if(requireConfirmedReset) throw new ResetException();
> }
and then depricate this new method at some strategic time to
introduce an exception-less solution like:
> /** @return true if this stream was successfully reset. */
> public boolean reset() throws IOException { return false; }
