Well, before, the primary use for extending the request and response was
implementing the read and write methods. Well, now there are some interfaces
which you can implement as separate objects. You can also associate
additional parameters to the request or response, so I thought that
extending wouldn't be needed.
Maybe the output and input will be a buffer too, since now you can associate
them to a stream.

I thought it was servlet API specific, so I would implement them in the
adapter.
