Please review the updated Streams API

Hi,

one of the great outcomes of the events in San Francisco in November was 
the FOMS workshop and the Streams session/discussion. Here are the notes.

http://www.foms-workshop.org/foms2013/pmwiki.php/Main/BrowserStreams

Since then an updated W3C Streams API draft has been made available for 
review and it is obviously very relevant for the Augmented Web.

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/streams-api/raw-file/tip/Overview.htm

I'd encourage you all to review it and provide any feedback or thoughts 
you might have.

Feras and Takeshi have been doing a great job integrating and filtering 
all the feedback they've received and I've personally been pushing for 
as much focus on making it as effective and useful for post-processing 
as possible. See the earlier feedback I provided on the post-processing 
scenarios.

So it seems like this Streams API will be able to resolve many of the 
questions I raised in this earlier thread.

Below is the email Feras sent to describe where this work is up to. 
Please send comments about the Streams API to public-webapps@w3.org 
(archive <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/>).
