Re: CfC: publish WD - NOT LCWD of File API; deadline October 22

All - today, Arun reported hewould like to do make some additional 
changes to the File API spec before it is ready for a LC to be 
published. I understand reflecting 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19554 is one issue, and 
Arun may expand on this or other issues.

Anyhow, please consider this CfC as hereby amended to "publish a new WD 
- and NOT a LCWD".

-Thanks, AB
