File constructor

Hi,
currently File object cannot be constructed, only Blob can.
I'm currently implementing XHR blob upload, that blob can either be File 
(selected by user) or programatically created Blob.
On server side :
1/ In case of File, I get file name as part of the file metadata (name, 
size, type, etc)
2/ In case of Blob, I cannot specify name and I have to send it as 
additional parameter and ignore name metadata

sending multiple files/blobs at once can be a mess

is there a reason, while File cannot be created? It is Blob with has 
name and lastModifyDate .
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#file

Could there be File constructor, that would work as Blob constructor 
with 3rd parameter specifying the name of the file and lastModifiedDate 
set to creation date
