The Problem is that you can't rebuild the map from a continuing stream, This is the problem with Database Replication in general. If you lose the stream for any reason you have to start again, which is a nightmare. Things that can be streamed like TV and Radio change over time and you don't need whats gone before. If you miss the beginning of a 24x7 News channel or a soap you can still work out whats going on about after a few minutes. With a Map you have not got a chance. Maps worry about quality. Streams don't I'm not quite sure how your stream would work. Theory Great, Practice don't work.
