-
-      ## <tt>REQUEST_METHOD</tt>:: The HTTP request method, such as

-      ##                           be an empty string, and so is
-      ##                           always required.
-
-      ## <tt>SCRIPT_NAME</tt>:: The initial portion of the request

-      ##                            variables should correspond with

-      ##                         the version of this SPEC.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.url_scheme</tt>:: +http+ or +https+, depending on the
-      ##                            request URL.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.input</tt>:: See below, the input stream.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.errors</tt>:: See below, the error stream.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.multithread</tt>:: true if the application object may be
-      ##                             simultaneously invoked by another thread
-      ##                             in the same process, false otherwise.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.multiprocess</tt>:: true if an equivalent application object
-      ##                              may be simultaneously invoked by another
-      ##                              process, false otherwise.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.run_once</tt>:: true if the server expects
-      ##                          (but does not guarantee!) that the

-      ##                          (or something similar).
-
-      ## <tt>rack.hijack?</tt>:: present and true if the server supports
-      ##                         connection hijacking. See below, hijacking.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.hijack</tt>:: an object responding to #call that must be
-      ##                        called at least once before using
-      ##                        rack.hijack_io.

-      ##                        as well as setting it in env if necessary.
-
-      ## <tt>rack.hijack_io</tt>:: if rack.hijack? is true, and rack.hijack
-      ##                           has received #call, this will contain
-      ##                           an object resembling an IO. See hijacking.

+      ## === The Body
+      ##
+      ## The Body is typically an +Array+ of +String+ instances, an enumerable

+      ## object.
+      ##
+      ## The Body must respond to +each+ or +call+. It may optionally respond
+      ## to +to_path+ or +to_ary+. A Body that responds to +each+ is considered
+      ## to be an Enumerable Body. A Body that responds to +call+ is considered
+      ## to be a Streaming Body.
+      ##
+      ## A Body that responds to both +each+ and +call+ must be treated as an
+      ## Enumerable Body, not a Streaming Body. If it responds to +each+, you
+      ## must call +each+ and not +call+. If the Body doesn't respond to
+      ## +each+, then you can assume it responds to +call+.
+      ##
+      ## The Body must either be consumed or returned. The Body is consumed by
+      ## optionally calling either +each+ or +call+.
+      ## Then, if the Body responds to +close+, it must be called to release
+      ## any resources associated with the generation of the body.
+      ## In other words, +close+ must always be called at least once; typically
+      ## after the web server has sent the response to the client, but also in
+      ## cases where the Rack application makes internal/virtual requests and
+      ## discards the response.
+      ##
+      def close
         ##

-    ## ==== Conventions
-    ## * Middleware should not use hijack unless it is handling the whole
-    ##   response.
-    ## * Middleware may wrap the IO object for the response pattern.
-    ## * Middleware should not wrap the IO object for the request pattern. The
-    ##   request pattern is intended to provide the hijacker with "raw tcp".
