True. Obviously I would want File API to be consistent with the rest.  
Which we plan to implement probably depends on the result of this  
discussion.


I asked some friends:

What do you think it should be called? WebSocket.url or WebSocket.URL?

A: url. I always write abbreviations in lowercase in code.
B: No idea.
C: url. If it's supposed to be camelCase. URL feels dumb.
D: Ooh, hard. It's mixed today already. There's responseXML on XHR. URL  
looks better.

Which would you expect if you were going to use it?

A: No idea.
B: URL. I don't know why, it just looks better.
C: url I think.
D: URL, from other languages and that it's an abbreviation.

Two of them asked me what I thought myself.

Me: I've argued for URL since there's document.URL.
C: Well, if that's the case then it should definitely be called URL.
D: So true! I didn't think of that one.
