Streams: EOF detection

I'm trying to write a stream implementation and I need to know the
criterion for detecting the stream I'm relaying.

Now, the headers for streams say that a partially satisfied read
(without error) means an EOF condition was found. Reading the
implementation for svn_stream_copy, it keeps reading the stream until
a non-satisfied read is encountered (returned bytes == 0).

I think the latter condition is saner, since I think to be told that
there are socket reads which are successful, but only return part of
the requested data without meaning to signal EOF.

What'll be the official 'verdict'?

bye,

Erik.
