@shepazu also FileReader and Blob only work on files added to a loaded document and don't give you access to the document itself. So you'd have to build an in-browser client for people to use a custom built file loader vs. their using "File | Open..." or otherwise opening the file directly in their browser (generating a `file:///` URL, etc). In the end, browsers haven't cared nearly enough about Content Negotiation for people to be able to do serious things with it--which is why folks keep "sniffing" URLs hoping somebody the `.pdf` stands for a file type and not [any of these things](http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/Pdf). Also, on this note, who should we be talking to in the W3C to get that fixed? :smiley: -- GitHub Notif of comment by BigBlueHat See https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/67#issuecomment-135514144
