E.g. a Stream obtained from XHR to receive a response should not be writable. It's reasonable to make network-to-Stream transfer happen in background asynchronously to JavaScript, and then it doesn't make much sense to keep it writable from JavaScript. It has a unified IDL now but I'm designing write side and read side independently. We could decouple it into two separate IDLs? concepts? if it make sense. Stream would inherit from both and provides a constructor.
