+ * If an input stream is non-blocking, it may return NS_BASE_STREAM_WOULD_BLOCK
+ * when read.  The caller must then wait for the stream to have some data to
+ * read.  If the stream implements nsIAsyncInputStream, then the caller can use
+ * this interface to request an asynchronous notification when the stream
+ * becomes readable or closed (via the AsyncWait method).
+ *
+ * While this interface is almost exclusively used with non-blocking streams, it
+ * is not necessary that nsIInputStream::isNonBlocking return true.  Nor is it
+ * necessary that a non-blocking nsIInputStream implementation also implement
+ * nsIAsyncInputStream.
