Sure, why not? Why would this be limited to File objects?
A File is supposed to refer to an actual file on the local hard drive.
A Blob is a big bunch of data that you might want to do something
with. There's nothing special about a File when it comes to what
you're doing with the data.
Just as we moved File.url up to Blob, I think File.readAsDataURL
belongs there too.
Fair enough; I'm amenable to moving it. So specifically, you're okay
with a DataURL on a Blob? It might not be anything useful; with a File,
you at least have the possibility of a whole unsliced image file. Could
you give me a use case where this is really useful for Blob objects?
Also, above you probably mean specifying that readAsDataURL (a method on
FileReader) works on Blob objects, not "File.readAsDataURL" ;-)
