Alex: argument is that pieces are welded shut because that's a good thing. i'd like to see the data. I'll respond

Kenneth: [related to]... transform streams?

Alex: it's all very wired shut

Kenneth: the transport stream is more like an interface.

Alex: it's not clear that you'll get the same behavior - generating new streams out of existing streams... what s is the delegation mechanism...

Yves: what is the default encoding of streams in javascript?

Alex: ...

Alex: you can't just make a transform stream...

[...discussion on what feedback to leave...]

Alex: https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/#is-transform-stream

David: if there are issues with transform streams it's worth raising them.

Alex: i'd like to make this less magic. Will leave feedback

Kenneth: Looking at issues around typing and TransformStreams.

Sangwhan: some people have issues with UTF-8 being the only encoding.

Yves: last telcon, we discussed the fact that natively js is ucs2 not utf8 - so the current name might be misleading

Kenneth: up-to-date example code?

Alex: no constructor so can't subclass?

Kenneth: domenic says you can

Alex: still an issue with subclassability - have followed up on the issue

Kenneth: alex's comment about subclassing / not subclassing. They say you should subclass...

Alex: I'll provide feedback today

Peter: currently pending external feedback.

Travis: Have an outstanding 'subclassing' issue. Should probably wait to the F2F.
