Uh, what is the "it/that" that you are talking about?
I have no idea what "WSGI disallows response streams"
above means. WSGI is designed sprecifically to support
streaming via Python iteraction.

The Zope 3 publisher didn't previously support either
streaming or efficient handling of large output.  It
*now* supports efficient handling of large output.
This is a step forward.

The major change is that the response 'write' method is
no longer supported. If that causes breakage of existing
Zope 3 apps, then we can add it back. It was our judgement
that it wasn't being used, so we dropped it.
