>> 1. Most people that I talk to dislike the name Blob, much less having >> it spread to things like BlobReader. I could maybe understand this if "blob" were a new term we were inventing. But it's not. It's a well-known computer science concept. It seems worse to try and coin a totally new name for "opaque chunk of data". FWIW, "most people" hating the name blob seems like a stretch, as it has not been my experience. But maybe we run in different circles.
