RE: revised recording proposal

Martin,
  Yes, but once it's put there, can it be changed?  I would think that 'createddate" (or whatever it's called) would hold time when whatever-it-was put it where-ever-it-is.  However files can normally be changed after that time, while Files are supposed to be "immutable".  Does that mean only that the app can't change them, but that other entities could?  If an app reads an immutable (by it) File  at two different times, could it find different data?

Immutable only from the perspective of the application.  That blob might be sourced from a GET request, or the filesystem.  Something put it whereever it was, and that would have happened at some time.
