Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] TextEncoderStream and TextDecoderStream (#282)

The argument that "we can't figure out why a web developer would ever want something" (a something that works against our design principles and general design goals) is not particularly compelling. The point of extensibility is to enable developers to do the set of things we *haven't* yet thought of, rather than to presume that we're omniscient.

The argument from consistency, at least, trumps one-off restrictions and design oddities. Let's make this subclassable.
