+ * nsITransport
+ *
+ * This interface provides a common way of accessing i/o streams connected
+ * to some resource. This interface does not in any way specify the resource.
+ * It provides methods to open blocking or non-blocking, buffered or unbuffered
+ * streams to the resource. The name "transport" is meant to connote the
+ * inherent data transfer implied by this interface (i.e., data is being
+ * transfered in some fashion via the streams exposed by this interface).
+ *
+ * A transport can have an event sink associated with it. The event sink
+ * receives transport-specific events as the transfer is occuring. For a
+ * socket transport, these events can include status about the connection.
+ * See nsISocketTransport for more info about socket transport specifics.
