Re: [w3c/FileAPI] Should some files provide an alt? (Issue #215)

mkruisselbrink left a comment (w3c/FileAPI#215)

I'd argue that `File` isn't really a representation of a OS file, rather it is a bunch of bytes with a name and content type. So from that point of view it seems reasonable that an "alt" representation could be another attribute of a File object. But I guess I can see the point that perhaps this should be on the web share side, where it would have to support passing in a pair of "file, alt text" where currently it just uses a file.
