+The {{ReadableStream()}} constructor accepts as its first argument a JavaScript object representing the <a>underlying
+source</a>. Such objects may contain any of the following properties:
+
+<dl>
+  <dt><dfn method for="underlying source">start(<var>controller</var>)</dfn></dt>
+  <dd>
+    <p>A function that is called immediately upon creation of the {{ReadableStream}}.</p>
+
+    <p>Typically this is used adapt a <a>push source</a> by setting up relevant event listeners, as in the example of
+    [[#example-rs-push-no-backpressure]], or to acquire access to a <a>pull source</a>, as in [[#example-rs-pull]].</p>
+
+    <p>If this setup process is asynchronous, it can return a promise to signal success or failure; a rejected promise
