That would be great. There is an issue in W3C process where it's hard to 
refer to documents that are still in Working Draft mode when one 
advances out of Working Draft, as dependencies can break.

Ideally, we'll have a solution here if Streams are backwards compatible 
with existing APIs. BTW I fully support streams, the key is that we 
can't hold up progress on the Web Crypto API to wait for streams to be 
supported, so if they can be backwards-compatible, that would be a real 
boon.
