DOMInputSource vs. DOMInputStream

The latest Load-Save draft defines DOMInputSource thusly:

interface DOMInputSource {
           attribute DOMInputSource byteStream;
           attribute DOMReader       characterStream;
           attribute DOMString       stringData;
           attribute DOMString       encoding;
           attribute DOMString       publicId;
           attribute DOMString       systemId;
           attribute DOMString       baseURI;
};

In previous drafts the byteStream attribute had type DOMInputStream
instead of DOMInputSource. I think it still should, and that the
changeis likely a mistake. I can't really understand what it would mean
for a byteStream to be a DOMInputSource.
