Re: [whatwg] Fetch, MSE, and MIX

I removed some people from the cc. The WHATWG list seems to bite.

Okay, so accepting that for the moment, that leaves us with deciding
on the appropriate API on the MSE side. I don't have a strong
preference, but at this point MSE is the only case I can think of that
warrants an explicit opaque readable stream class. All the other use
cases I have (such as feeding <img> or <script> an arbitrary response)
would rather have a Response instance so headers and such are
preserved. And that Response can be opaque of course and then (as
currently specified) its .body would return null, but these privileged
contexts would get access to the underlying body stream.

I don't particularly mind introducing an opaque readable stream class,
but do we have any other use cases besides MSE?
