Re: [w3c/FileAPI] Implementations allow all values in type getter (#43)

Using the empty string (which indicates a missing MIME type) is fine. I didn't mean to suggest changing that (if someone wants to suggest that anyway, let's do that in a separate issue).

I think if we parse and then serialize we create less trouble for downstream consumers of these objects (e.g., consumers who might have parsers that could easily be broken by malicious input). And these objects would then also offer a consistent API with when the browser is responsible for generating them as the MIME type would always be valid.
