There's a Blink intent-to-implement for Streams API I sent. I plan to
implement it based on [2]. By turning on a flag to turn on experimental
features, XHR in Chrome can return a response as a Stream object. It's
based on "10. Extension of XMLHttpRequest" of [1]. Nothing done yet for the
rest. We're preparing for it (such as implementation of Promises).

I agree that we should merge [1] and [2] as Feras said.
