I heard Adobe Flex has some notion of a byte array to represent files. Does sequence<octet> not cover that? Would you prefer it to be “looser”, in that [[Get]]s and [[Put]]s work like an array, but it is not an ECMAScript Array object (so that it can have some more efficient representation underneath)? -- Cameron McCormack, http://mcc.id.au/ xmpp:heycam@jabber.org ▪ ICQ 26955922 ▪ MSN cam@mcc.id.au
