<A CLASS='footnote_ref' NAME='note_1' HREF='#note_1_ref'><SUP>[1]</SUP></A>It was noticed late in developement that to be consistent with the policy of reporting errors using exceptions (<I>see</I> <A HREF='../guide/exceptions.html'>Exceptions</A>), <CODE>flush</CODE> should have been specified to return <CODE>void</CODE> when invoked on a Device. Until the specification is changed, Devices should always return <CODE>true</CODE> when flushed.
