Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Review of NativeIO (#566)

We discussed this in today's call. Some questions we had based on our understanding of the explainer:

1) Given that the characteristic of what this provides is a "file" (quotes due to it being a quasi-file in a virtual filesystem land), how can one share this "file" or a set of "file"s to  another origin? This feels like a useful feature that we are unsure how it would be implemented.
2) How can these files be accessed from the OS? I suppose the answer is "you don't" - but given that everything doesn't happen on the web this seems like a missing feature.
3) How does this API relate to storage buckets?
4) Should there be an "ephemeral" mode for these handles? Curious about what your thoughts on with regards to immutability as well.

These are questions we had from the first skim - we'll look into this in a bit more depth in a separate breakout later.
