Re: Please review the updated Streams API

Thank you for posting the link.

As written, this specification shows how to send an uninterpreted, 
unsegmented stream of bytes over an API interface.

Since none of our interfaces (except possibly the output of the Recorder 
interface) is specified in terms of uninterpreted, unsegmented streams 
of bytes, I don't think this is particularly useful to the APIs 
specified by this working group.

Thank you very much for explicitly naming the types you're specifying 
'ByteStream' so that it is trivial to see that this is the abstraction 
that this specification is relevant to.
