[w3ctag/design-reviews] Byte Streams (#567)

HIQaH! QaH! TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of byte streams.

The streams APIs provide ubiquitous, interoperable primitives for creating, composing, and consuming streams of data. For streams representing bytes, readable byte streams are an extended version of readable streams which are provided to handle bytes efficiently, in particular by minimizing copies.
