One question about readText is what size should mean and how to handle incomplete chunk. a) maxSize means the size of DOMString. readText reads data until it builds DOMString of maxSize or reached EoF b) maxSize means the size of raw bytes b-i) buffer incomplete bytes for next read b-ii) fail if decoder didn't consume all read data (of maxSize bytes) b-ii) is simple but inconvenient. user need to know the number of bytes the next text data occupies in advance maybe b-i) and in case read() is issued after incomplete readText, an exception should be thrown. This is kind of mutual exclusiveness Anne was worrying about.
