It's even more important if File objects are stored in History or IndexedDB; that it should be a *shallow* copy, with enough information stored to invalidate it if the underlying file changes, doesn't seem to be specified.

Oh I'm glad to see this one! Is it Blob and File that can be put into IDB? How do I create a new File (with a name field) from a Blob? -Charles
