You can get a reference to the server-side (dom) document, which will
contain generated markup, but I am almost certain that you can't write
code like you mentioned (pass a component instance into a kind of
rendered). The stream return is to make different http responses easy,
including binary files (images etc), xml, plain text, etc.
You _may_ be able to hack your way to what you want, but I can't imagine
it would be clean and I'm sure you'd have to meddle with internal
classes. Good luck - I'm sure others would be interested in your progress.
sincerely,
