+This directory contains files from several different implementations and
+implementation strategies:
+
+## Traditional ReadableStream Implementation
+
+- ReadableByteStream.{cpp,h,idl}
+- ReadableByteStreamReader.{h,idl}
+- ReadableStream.{cpp,h,idl}
+- ReadableStreamImpl.h
+- ReadableStreamReader.{cpp,h,idl}
+- ReadableStreamReaderTest.cpp
+- ReadableStreamTest.cpp
+- UnderlyingSource.h
+
+These files implement the current streams spec, plus the more speculative
+ReadableByteStream, to the extent necessary to support Fetch response bodies.
+They do not support author-constructed readable streams. They use the normal
+approach for implementing web-exposed classes, i.e. IDL bindings with C++
+implementation. They are currently shipping in Chrome.
+
+## V8 Extras ReadableStream Implementation
+
+- ByteLengthQueuingStrategy.js
+- CountQueuingStrategy.js
+- ReadableStream.js
+- ReadableStreamTempStub.js
+
+These files are an in-progress implementation of the current streams spec,
+using [V8 extras][1]. They allow author construction. We hope eventually to
+have these supercede the traditional ReadableStream implementation, but the
+work to build Fetch response body streams on top of this is ongoing.

+
+## Old streams
+
+- Stream.{cpp,h,idl}
+
+These files support an old streams spec. They should eventually be removed, but
+right now XMLHttpRequest and Media Streams Extension code in Blink still
+depends on them.
