Just to be clear here, initially I thought http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/streams-api/raw-file/tip/Overview.htm#send0 to be too unclear for the streaming scenario, but I suppose it can work if you assume the raw data by the stream object is not a constant until the object is closed. I will take a stab at updating http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/ with the relevant text and references. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
