client streams?

I'm having trouble understanding client streams in Squid. Am I correct
in thinking that they are simply a chain of observers to the results of
an HTTP request? And that they were recently added as part of the ESI work?

Could the present httpStart and friends in http.cc be written as client
stream callbacks? Are there any plans to port http.cc over to the client
stream API? If not, is there some fundamental reason not to that I've
missed?
