Yes... actually, it is a requirement that an OnStartRequest be paired
with a corresponding OnStopRequest. For example, if
nsIChannel::AsyncOpen succeeds, then there _will be_ an OnStartRequest
followed by zero or more OnDataAvailable's with a fiinal OnStopRequest.
By the way, it is completely possible that OnStopRequest will be
followed by another sequence of
OnStartRequest/OnDataAvailable/OnStopRequest. This happens in the case
of HTTP authentication, HTTP redirection, and multipart-mixed-replace
(to name some of the more common examples).
