More so for other languages, too; 255 bytes of UTF-8 is only 85 codepoints of CJK--still a fairly long filename, but not unheard of. But, it seems long enough for sandboxed access, as long as the restriction can be lifted for non-sandboxed "mountpoint" access later on. > The <input type="file" webkitdirectory> experiment has opened up some room > for the idea of mount points.

A "mountpoint" interface would presumably return a FileSystem object (among other details, like adding FileSystem to the structured clone algorithm, and a way to request a FileSystemSync object from a FileSystem object). -- Glenn Maynard
