If you want to put a "socket" API on the client side of a streams implementation that's really easy. You can also easily put a streams client API on top of sockets, but that des *not* make it streams!Streams lets small developers (such as Peter Sichel at Sustainable Softworks <http://www.sustworks.com/>) do great things. Sockets locks in the big vendors.
Don't be fooled!
I'm not being fooled, and I'm not saying I like what they did -- I just said what I heard, that's all.
