I think the javadoc looks quite good now, except may be the first 
statement "Reads some bytes ...". It might be clearer to start with 
"Reads a given number of bytes ...". The subsequent text makes the short 
read case and the return value clear.

Let’s park this momentarily, while I sketch up the readAllBytes variant, so we can ensure that the typical use cases have been addressed. Doing so may feedback into the spec of this method.  I’ll push this latest draft into the sandbox so it is not lost.
Yes, a separate use-case but once that I would expect to be common.
