It is not a usability issue if you are cleanly separating things which do

This introduces order dependency that is otherwise not there. The order
dependency makes perfect sense to one who understands the details, but
otherwise seems arbitrary. (..still pondering what to do here).
Example:
#!/bin/sh
(echo Hallo; echo Bello; echo; echo blabla) | \
(
while read line; do
echo "$line"
if [ -z "$line" ]; then
break
fi
done
echo "xxx"
cat
)
In this case, shell reads the header until an empty line is encountered.
The rest is piped through cat. And it does not matter if "blabla" is text
or binary.
Doh! (sometimes you just have to whack people over the head with a 2x4).
Thanks.
