So that I don't forget this... This PR omits two very important things:

1. It doesn't actually say what a unidirectional stream *is*.

2. It doesn't say anything about stream usage in HTTP.

As we discussed on the editor's call today, we are going to merge this, then fix it.  I'll prioritize fixing the first issue though.

Given the HTTP usage, I'm going to push harder for a separation of the type bits, because that will make the HTTP usage of the identifiers easier (it has implicit type identification).  That will have to wait until #877 resolves.  That also needs some HTTP text.
