+    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
+    name/value pairs.
+    
+    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
+    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
+    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
+    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
+    mimetype set.
+    
+    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
+    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
+    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
+    
+    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
+    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
+    read any of the formats listed below.
+    
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized with 
+            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
+    
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized with 
+            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.
+
+    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64
+    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
+            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter
+            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-# System.Security.Cryptography.Cose
+# System.IO.StreamExtensions
 
-This assembly provides support for CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE), initially defined in [IETF RFC 8152](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc8152.html).
+This project provides stream wrappers and factory methods for common memory and text-based types, specifically: `string`, `ReadOnlyMemory<char>`, `ReadOnlyMemory<byte>`, `Memory<byte>`, and `ReadOnlySequence<byte>`. This serves as an initial prototype for the API proposal in [dotnet/runtime#82801](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/82801), addressing the core variants that achieved consensus during the first API review as a logical starting point.
 
-The primary types in this assembly are
+## Project Structure & Provided Types
 
-* Signing
-  * Single Signer (`COSE_Sign1`): [CoseSign1Message](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.cose.cosesign1message)
-  * Multi-Signer (`COSE_Sign`): [CoseMultiSignMessage](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.cose.cosemultisignmessage)
+The following stream wrappers are implemented, each providing high correctness test coverage and conformance/complementary behavioral tests:
 
-Documentation can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.cose
+- **StringStream**: Wraps a `string` as a non-seekable read-only stream, encoding its content on demand.
+- **ReadOnlyMemoryCharStream**: Wraps `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` as a non-seekable read-only stream, encoding on demand (ideal for efficient slicing and non-allocating substring scenarios).
+- **ReadOnlyMemoryStream**: Wraps `ReadOnlyMemory<byte>` as a read-only stream.
+- **ReadOnlySequenceStream**: Wraps `ReadOnlySequence<byte>` as a read-only stream.
+- **MemoryTStream**: Wraps `Memory<byte>` as a writable stream with limited capabilities (see below).
 
-## Contribution Bar
+The project implements **factory methods** for these types, matching the initial API prototype and providing a standard means of creating streams from memory and text data.
 
-- [x] [We consider new features, new APIs and performance changes](../README.md#primary-bar)
-- [x] [We consider PRs that target this library for new source code analyzers](../README.md#secondary-bars)
+## Technical and Design Notes
 
-See the [Help Wanted](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues?q=is:issue+is:open+label:area-System.Security+label:%22help+wanted%22) issues.
+- Streams that wrap data like `ReadOnlyMemory<T>` or `Memory<T>` do **not** "own" the underlying buffer. This differs from [CommunityToolkit.HighPerformance](https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/dotnet/blob/main/src/CommunityToolkit.HighPerformance/Streams/MemoryStream%7BTSource%7D.cs), where memory ownership and expandability are sometimes supported.
+  - **Buffer management**: For wrappers like `MemoryTStream` (over `Memory<byte>`), the stream acts only as a view. The buffer is _not_ expandable. Dispose() on the stream does **not** free or alter the original buffer, which is expected to remain valid after stream disposal.
+  - **Capacity logic**: Attempts to write beyond a fixed buffer's capacity will throw an exception; attempting to read beyond the buffer returns 0 bytes read, matching .NET Stream convention for fixed-size buffers.
 
-## Source
+- **Encoding on-the-fly**: Both `StringStream` and `ReadOnlyMemoryCharStream` encode their data as needed. Neither is seekable. While `string` and `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` currently have dedicated wrappers, future benchmarking may suggest merging them or further specializing them, especially as `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` proves efficient for slicing and non-allocated substrings.
 
-* The source code for this assembly is in the [src](src/) subdirectory.
-* Crytographic primitives are in the [System.Security.Cryptography](../System.Security.Cryptography/) assembly.
-* Lower-level CBOR parsing is in the [System.Formats.Cbor](../System.Formats.Cbor/) assembly.
+- The current implementation aligns with the consensus established in the [dotnet/runtime#82801](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/82801) proposal and presents a logical API baseline. Further variants and potential performance improvements will be explored in subsequent iterations, rather than at this prototype stage, via benchmarks.
 
-## Deployment
+## Usage Example
 
-The library is shipped as a [NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Security.Cryptography.Cose).
+```csharp
+using System.IO;
+using System.Text;
+
+// Create a stream from a string for HTTP content
+Stream stream = StreamFactory.StreamFromText("Hello world", Encoding.UTF8);
+// Use with HttpClient, File I/O, etc.
+
+// Create a read/write stream over a Memory<byte> buffer
+Memory<byte> buffer = new byte[4096];
+using Stream writableStream = StreamFactory.StreamFromData(buffer);
+// ... perform stream operations
+```
+
+## Implementation Goals
+
+- High fidelity to .NET conventions and expectations around stream ownership and buffer lifetime.
+- High correctness through exhaustive test coverage for all implemented wrappers and API behaviors.
+- Agility to extend/adjust API and implementation in response to future dotnet/runtime API review and benchmarking.

 The following stream wrappers are implemented, each providing high correctness test coverage and conformance/complementary behavioral tests:
 
-- **StringStream**: Wraps a `string` as a non-seekable read-only stream, encoding its content on demand.
-- **ReadOnlyMemoryCharStream**: Wraps `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` as a non-seekable read-only stream, encoding on demand (ideal for efficient slicing and non-allocating substring scenarios).

   - **Buffer management**: For wrappers like `MemoryTStream` (over `Memory<byte>`), the stream acts only as a view. The buffer is _not_ expandable. Dispose() on the stream does **not** free or alter the original buffer, which is expected to remain valid after stream disposal.
   - **Capacity logic**: Attempts to write beyond a fixed buffer's capacity will throw an exception; attempting to read beyond the buffer returns 0 bytes read, matching .NET Stream convention for fixed-size buffers.
 
-- **Encoding on-the-fly**: Both `StringStream` and `ReadOnlyMemoryCharStream` encode their data as needed. Neither is seekable. While `string` and `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` currently have dedicated wrappers, future benchmarking may suggest merging them or further specializing them, especially as `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` proves efficient for slicing and non-allocated substrings.
+- **Seekable character encoding streams**: Both `StringStream` and `ReadOnlyMemoryCharStream` now support seeking with performance considerations:
+  - **On-demand single-pass encoding**: During sequential read operations, encoding is performed on-the-fly in a single pass using an internal buffer, avoiding the need to encode the entire source upfront.
+  - **Seeking cost**: When `Position` is modified via the setter or `Seek()`, the stream must re-encode from the beginning to reach the target byte position, which is an O(n) operation. This can be expensive for large strings or character sequences with arbitrary seeks.
+  - **Length property cost**: Accessing the `Length` property for the first time requires encoding the entire source to determine the byte count (O(n) operation). The result is cached for subsequent accesses. For optimal performance with streaming scenarios that don't require the length upfront (e.g., chunked HTTP transfer), avoid accessing `Length`.
+  - **Best performance**: Sequential reads without seeking provide the best performance, as encoding occurs incrementally on-the-fly.
 
-- The current implementation aligns with the consensus established in the [dotnet/runtime#82801](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/82801) proposal and presents a logical API baseline. Further variants and potential performance improvements will be explored in subsequent iterations, rather than at this prototype stage, via benchmarks.

-    Version 2.0

-    The primary goals of this format is to allow a simple XML format 
-    that is mostly human readable. The generation and parsing of the 
-    various data types are done through the TypeConverter classes 
-    associated with the data types.
-    
-    Example:
-    
-    ... ado.net/XML headers & schema ...
-    <resheader name="resmimetype">text/microsoft-resx</resheader>
-    <resheader name="version">2.0</resheader>
-    <resheader name="reader">System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <resheader name="writer">System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, ...</resheader>
-    <data name="Name1"><value>this is my long string</value><comment>this is a comment</comment></data>
-    <data name="Color1" type="System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing">Blue</data>
-    <data name="Bitmap1" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded serialized .NET Framework object]</value>

-    <data name="Icon1" type="System.Drawing.Icon, System.Drawing" mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
-        <value>[base64 mime encoded string representing a byte array form of the .NET Framework object]</value>

-    There are any number of "resheader" rows that contain simple 
-    name/value pairs.
-    
-    Each data row contains a name, and value. The row also contains a 
-    type or mimetype. Type corresponds to a .NET class that support 
-    text/value conversion through the TypeConverter architecture. 
-    Classes that don't support this are serialized and stored with the 
-    mimetype set.
-    
-    The mimetype is used for serialized objects, and tells the 
-    ResXResourceReader how to depersist the object. This is currently not 
-    extensible. For a given mimetype the value must be set accordingly:
-    
-    Note - application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64 is the format 
-    that the ResXResourceWriter will generate, however the reader can 
-    read any of the formats listed below.
-    
-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    mimetype: application/x-microsoft.net.object.soap.base64
-    value   : The object must be serialized with 
-            : System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter
-            : and then encoded with base64 encoding.

-    value   : The object must be serialized into a byte array 
-            : using a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter

-# System.IO.StreamExtensions
-
-This project provides stream wrappers and factory methods for common memory and text-based types, specifically: `string`, `ReadOnlyMemory<char>`, `ReadOnlyMemory<byte>`, `Memory<byte>`, and `ReadOnlySequence<byte>`. This serves as an initial prototype for the API proposal in [dotnet/runtime#82801](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/82801), addressing the core variants that achieved consensus during the first API review as a logical starting point.
-
-## Project Structure & Provided Types
-
-The following stream wrappers are implemented, each providing high correctness test coverage and conformance/complementary behavioral tests:
-
-- **StringStream**: Wraps a `string` as a seekable read-only stream, encoding its content on demand.
-- **ReadOnlyMemoryCharStream**: Wraps `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` as a seekable read-only stream, encoding on demand (ideal for efficient slicing and non-allocating substring scenarios).
-- **ReadOnlyMemoryStream**: Wraps `ReadOnlyMemory<byte>` as a read-only stream.
-- **ReadOnlySequenceStream**: Wraps `ReadOnlySequence<byte>` as a read-only stream.
-- **MemoryTStream**: Wraps `Memory<byte>` as a writable stream with limited capabilities (see below).
-
-The project implements **factory methods** for these types, matching the initial API prototype and providing a standard means of creating streams from memory and text data.
-
-## Technical and Design Notes
-
-- Streams that wrap data like `ReadOnlyMemory<T>` or `Memory<T>` do **not** "own" the underlying buffer. This differs from [CommunityToolkit.HighPerformance](https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/dotnet/blob/main/src/CommunityToolkit.HighPerformance/Streams/MemoryStream%7BTSource%7D.cs), where memory ownership and expandability are sometimes supported.
-  - **Buffer management**: For wrappers like `MemoryTStream` (over `Memory<byte>`), the stream acts only as a view. The buffer is _not_ expandable. Dispose() on the stream does **not** free or alter the original buffer, which is expected to remain valid after stream disposal.
-  - **Capacity logic**: Attempts to write beyond a fixed buffer's capacity will throw an exception; attempting to read beyond the buffer returns 0 bytes read, matching .NET Stream convention for fixed-size buffers.
-
-- **Seekable character encoding streams**: Both `StringStream` and `ReadOnlyMemoryCharStream` now support seeking with performance considerations:
-  - **On-demand single-pass encoding**: During sequential read operations, encoding is performed on-the-fly in a single pass using an internal buffer, avoiding the need to encode the entire source upfront.
-  - **Seeking cost**: When `Position` is modified via the setter or `Seek()`, the stream must re-encode from the beginning to reach the target byte position, which is an O(n) operation. This can be expensive for large strings or character sequences with arbitrary seeks.
-  - **Length property cost**: Accessing the `Length` property for the first time requires encoding the entire source to determine the byte count (O(n) operation). The result is cached for subsequent accesses. For optimal performance with streaming scenarios that don't require the length upfront (e.g., chunked HTTP transfer), avoid accessing `Length`.
-  - **Best performance**: Sequential reads without seeking provide the best performance, as encoding occurs incrementally on-the-fly.
-
-  While `string` and `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` currently have dedicated wrappers, future benchmarking may suggest merging them or further specializing them, especially as `ReadOnlyMemory<char>` proves efficient for slicing and non-allocated substrings.
-
- - The current implementation aligns with the consensus established in the [dotnet/runtime#82801](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/82801) proposal and presents a logical API baseline. Further variants and potential performance improvements will be explored in subsequent iterations, rather than at this prototype stage, via benchmarks.
-
-## Usage Example
-
-```csharp
-using System.IO;
-using System.Text;
-
-// Create a stream from a string for HTTP content
-Stream stream = StreamFactory.StreamFromText("Hello world", Encoding.UTF8);
-// Use with HttpClient, File I/O, etc.
-
-// Create a read/write stream over a Memory<byte> buffer
-Memory<byte> buffer = new byte[4096];
-using Stream writableStream = StreamFactory.StreamFromWritableData(buffer);
-// ... perform stream operations
-```
-
-## Implementation Goals
-
-- High fidelity to .NET conventions and expectations around stream ownership and buffer lifetime.
-- High correctness through exhaustive test coverage for all implemented wrappers and API behaviors.
-- Agility to extend/adjust API and implementation in response to future dotnet/runtime API review and benchmarking.
