--- Comment #25 from Harald Alvestrand <harald@alvestrand.no> ---
I am changing the subject of this bug to be more appropriate to the discussion.
What we seem to be converging on:

- The behaviour of CreateObjectURL(Mediastream) needs to be documented. In
particular, that it behaves exactly the same as CreateObjectURL(Blob) with
regards to creating references that prevent garbage-collecting the Mediastream.

- The URL that is returned from this CreateObjectURL operation should not start
with the letters "blob:", because it can't be used or dereferenced in the ways
that a "blob:" URL can. This is in line with what implementations do today.

- It would be great if the File API specification had a term we could point to
just say "MediaStream is a FOO", and get the properties we want.
