Re: [sensors] Possibility to use "Readable Stream" as defined by the Streams API

It is hard to say. As @ClaesNilsson points out, one of the major 
issues is what happens if the application does not read out the values
 as they are provided. Observables (and EventTarget) leave that 
question entirely unanswered, whereas streams attempt to answer it. I 
am not sure all sensors are well-suited to the answer (of buffering 
unread data) though. Maybe the EventTarget/observable paradigm, of 
"you snooze you lose (data)," makes more sense for sensors.
