Re: [w3c/FileAPI] Does the specification define input[type=file] .files expected behaviour to relevant to reflecting real-time changes to user selected file? (#99)

@annevk #75 appears to be a general concern about mutating state of Blob/File objects. 

Further, this issue does not go as far as it could by testing shell code that mutates the the contents of the file on disk (where applicable https://stackoverflow.com/a/56419176). A barage of tests would probably be necessary to verify if the conceivable ways (e.g., following read `$ cd ~/.config/[chrome, chromium]/Default/File\ System/[three digits]/[lowercase letter]/[two digits]` (https://stackoverflow.com/a/36098618)) a Blob/File object can be mutated are (no longer) possible, which have not yet sketched a draft for the prospective tests yet, or performed. 

Am not sure if this is a duplicate. This issue presents a concrete case with details where that mutation was/is possible.
