9P doesn't require any flow control?  That doesn't seem right :-)  But then
again it doesn't stream, at least in the traditional way I think of
streaming.  To stream you typically need flow control, so 9P isn't good for
streaming in the sense I think of streaming. (yet?)

Fix 9P or don't is the decision to be made.
