Hixie, I think a Base64 representation of the file resource may be
sufficient, particularly for the image use case (which is how it is used
already). Can you flesh out why the new schema is a good idea?
so. I have folders with 100-1000mb of pictures in them. If I decide
that I want to upload them all (Picasa style), i'd expect it would
take a very long time to convert each file name into a base64 url.
File API should probably have some way to get only parts of the file.
getAsXXX(long long offset, long long length). Then uploading huge files
could be split and decoding video (or something like that) in JS might
become possible.
This is something we need for XHR too
