see /sys/src/doc/il/il.ps
- reliable,
- in order.
(the other three are not hard requirements)

i would think that Tstream has greater requirements.
it would seem to require flow control.

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.
