It would be cool... :-P

Ok, let's get serious. Maybe inotify would be too high level API and I
agree it would be moved to a later version, but I find it a really
useful feature. in a per-domain sandboxed filesystem maybe it would
not be so important (except if it's accessed from several pages on the
same domain), but if it's a sandboxed mountpoint defined by the user
on a folder on the computer filesystem and he has direct access to it,
if he modify the contect of this sandboxed folder/mountpoint the
webapp wouldn't know about that modifications, and for my personal use
case I'm really interested on this feature (in fact, I proposed it
some time ago, not remember if on this list or on Chrome...).
