But "after EOF" does not imply that EOF has been sent in both directions.
Presumably, the situation would be that one side has sent EOF, while the
other side continues to stream data. In this situation, is the side that has
already sent EOF allowed to send a channel request or a response to the
other side's request, or not?

I would say yes, it ought to be allowed. But I think this is something that
should be clearly stated in the specification, not something we should be
wondering about right now.

I think the specification must be amended to clarify this. I imagine that is
the whole point of having the specification in the first place.
