phantom10111 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/media-source: == createObjectURL() not up-to-date with File API == The description of `createObjectURL()` has the following note: > This algorithm is intended to mirror the behavior of the createObjectURL()[FILE-API] method with autoRevoke set to true. The note follows with an algorithm similar to the one in a [draft from 25 October 2012](http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-FileAPI-20121025/#dfn-createObjectURL) The issue is that the [current version of File API](http://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/#dfn-createObjectURL) has reworded the description of the algorithm and removed the `autoRevoke` parameter from that function. `createObjectURL()` will now always create non auto revoking URLs. `createFor()` was added to create auto revoking URLs. I suggest that `createFor()` should be added to the specification and that the behaviour of both functions should mirror the appropriate functions from the current File API. If for some reason you only want to provide the auto revoking version, I suggest that the function should be called `createFor()` to avoid confusion with File API. I personally think that forcing users to deal with the URL auto revoking at an unspecified time isn't a great thing to do and that both versions should be provided. See https://github.com/w3c/media-source/issues/10
