Then you can use
splice should synchronously return a new FileData object. No need for
asynchronous callback since no IO occurs.
Done, though I used Anne's suggestion to make it an attribute.
Whoops, no I didn't mean Anne's suggestion for slice -- I meant it for

It's generally hard to encode files and to send them to servers. While Data
URLs give developers a convenient way to work with Base64, URL length
limitations across user agents make

Dmitry,
the spec lists a use case about a web app that needs to send file(s) to the

can send attachments. FileData and its splice() method are useful here. I
assume the XHR2 spec would get XHR.send(FileData) method.

The File API is meant to talk to your local file system. It isn't a

getAsBinary should be called getAsBinaryString so that once we have a
