The <strstream> header is certainly described in §D.7.1.
Old iostreams are in §D.6, and the common practice is that old
iostream means <iostream.h>. Now, I don't see much reasons to keep
those <xxx.h> files remove others, as they have been in the legacy
base. I would say that if we don't have maintanance burden with them,
then we should keep them.
