Also, the Stream object lets you pipe the data from to/from Web Workers, which can be handy in certain scenarios. From: darin@google.com [mailto:darin@google.com] On Behalf Of Darin Fisher [snip] Another thing not to lose sight of is that a Stream abstraction could be useful as an optimization tool. There are times when a developer just needs to connect a data stream from a provider to a consumer and doesn't necessarily care about seeing the raw bytes. (The data may not even be available in the address space of the process running the developer's script.) So, I can imagine some optimization opportunities when we work with a handle to a stream of data rather than the data itself. -Darin
