Certainly. As I understand it, the reasons for reusing appendStream()
rather than adding appendResponse() to MSE are generally two-fold:
a) MSE already has appendStream(). In combination with the other changes to
Streams API, Fetch, and Mixed Content specs, as well as the known work to
update MSE spec to use ReadableByteStream (
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27239), the scope of further
changes to existing MSE appendStream() spec are expected to be
significantly less than adding a distinct appendResponse() method to MSE.
b) We think these other specs (Streams API, Fetch, Mixed Content) are
likely to incorporate these changes anyway.
