This is just from a quick read, but I'd say that streaming refers to the protocol being able to send at full speed, without waiting for an acknowledge that each block was received without any CRC errors (like XMODEM and YMODEM required). Errors are detected by the protocol while data is still 'streaming' in, then data is resent from the last successfully received position. This is the same sort of concept as TCP/IP.
