RdfWriter currently does not work for generating very large output files without buffering, mainly due to how prefix/namespace declarations are handled. After some discussion with Stas, we identified the following key changes to be needed:

• writer needs a method to create sub-document writers that share prefix declarations, but are not attached to the parent writer's output buffer. The method to generate such a sub-writer could be snippet(). Or sub(), with the current sub() method being moved to inline().
• it should be possible to call drain() at any time, e.g. to generate the "header" part of the output. drain() would make a state transition to DOCUMENT.
• there should be a finish() method (for top-level writers) that would close the document (transition to the DRAIN state, which should be renamed to END), and then call drain() and return the resulting string.
• prefix() can (for now) only be called on the top-level writer, and only before start()
• reset() should reset declared prefixes only when called on a top level (document role) writer.

To make use of these changes, RdfSerializer needs to get startDocument() and endDocument() methods.
