Description
It would be great if a client could reconnect to the api/v1/stream and request all events since a given point in time. That way my streaming logic could connect to a client and reliably request all events missed from the last time we missed. This saves the client from having to implement a hybrid polling/streaming approach as all missed events / status updates would come via the interface.
The RFC does mention the concept of an event-stream-id. Being relatively new to streams this may or may not be something we could use.
