As the ending translation is only relevant to text, it makes sense to keep it where the text conversion happens. You could append a mixture of text and binary data to a Blob; if you then wanted to translate the line endings only on the text portion, there would be no way to sort it out without excessive bookkeeping under the covers. >> On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 6:01 PM, Eric Uhrhane <ericu@google.com> wrote: >>> >>> I've just posted a new draft of the File Writer API [1], based on the >>> version I posted in January [2].
