RE: revised recording proposal

There is a difference between returning a blob at timeSlice intervals until stopRecording is called, versus returning a File object only once.  I don't want to get into a discussion on how different GC's are treating blobs today, but to say that there is no performance difference between the two is premature.

Given that a File in this context is a Blob with a name and a last-modified attribute added to it, it seems that there is not much to gain by delaying recording to a Blob (and only do File in version 1).
