Given the positive support indicated, one way forward with respect to
WebApps is for Adam to put his spec into WebApps' Mercurial repo and to
continue related discussions on public-webapps.
Note, WebApps cannot publish this spec (in w3.org/TR/) until the spec is
included in the WG's charter. Our current charter does not expire until
June 2012 and at this point in time, I would not support re-chartering
just for this one spec. (I am not aware of any urgency to publish this
spec so if I missed something, please speak up.)
If anyone has any comments or concerns about proceeding as above, please
send you comments to public-webapps.

I'm definitely interested in seeing this become a rec-track document. Ad-hoc
pieces of this live in other specs. For instance, both WHATWG Stream API and
FileAPI reference URL.createObjectURL(blob) as defined here:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#creating-revoking
I'd like to see this interface live somewhere more formal than its
present incarnation as a Google Doc.
Hear hear. I'm also interested in Adam's work on URL parsing and
resolution; currently the HTML spec has some outdated text on this but it
would be great for it to be fixed. I don't mind where this lives though
(as an independent spec or in one of the existing specs).
