// There are currently two ways to use a stream converter:
// 1. SYNCHRONOUS. Stream to Stream.
// You can supply the service with a stream of type X
// and it will convert it to your desired output type and return
// a converted (blocking) stream to you.
//
// 2. ASYNCHRONOUS. nsIStreamListener to nsIStreamListener
// You can supply data directly to the converter by calling it's
// nsIStreamListener::OnDataAvailable() method. It will then
// convert that data from type X to your desired output type and
// return converted data to you via the nsIStreamListener you passed
// in by calling its OnDataAvailable() method.

// Registering a stream converter.
// Stream converter registration is a two step process. First of all the stream
// converter implementation must register itself with the component manager using
// a progid in the format below. Second, the stream converter must add the progid
// to the registry.

// Stream converter progid format (the stream converter root key is defined in this
