I think the main issue would be compat with existing nsIStreamListeners. These listeners might be written such that they expect the nsIInputStream passed in OnDataAvailable() to return their entire length from a single Available() call. This will not be true for a streamed pipe. I'll try to get some patches ready to test with in the next couple weeks and we can see. Worst case we could do the accumulation into a string in the child process to avoid spiking memory in the parent process.
