  Target Milestone: ---

This bug is *editorial*.

I happened upon only one occurrence of this, and even though it is in a
non-normative section, I think we should not use this term, as a stylesheet as
a whole is never "streamable" by the way we use the term "streamable".

We might even add a Note explaining that stylesheets as a whole are not
streamable, but I'm agnostic to that.

The occurrence is in J.1. Changes in this Specification, item 4:

"Other changes introduced to facilitate the writing of streamable stylesheets
include:"

A suggested rewrite could be:

"Other changes introduced to facilitate the writing of stylesheets that can
process streamed documents include:"

Or use the term "guaranteed streamable constructs".
