Re: [whatwg/fetch] Request body streams should use chunked encoding (#966)

> To be clear, we already more or less agreed that full-duplex is out-of-scope for this initial round of upload streams as no browser has the architecture for that and nobody is willing to invest in it at this point. It's an open question to what extent Fetch should call that out.

I can respect that.

However, you should be mindful about building the interfaces to support the fetch functionality. If you don't consider the needs of bi-directional streaming, it might be tricky to retrofit it in the future. There are nice symmetries to be had. The way I'd define the spec, is to assume bi-directional streaming is viable, build the interface around that, and then limit it to uni-directional streaming. Nothing is lost, but when browsers are ready to go with bi-directional streaming, the interfaces are ready to go and are nice to work with.
