We didn't come to much of a resolution.
It was suggested that the current behavior in browsers was incorrect; that the File should become inaccessible if/when it changes.

<bryan> I disagree, the fact that re-accessing a file object loads the latest version of the file is a valuable feature IMO, even if it was not intentional. I don't know if preventing that is what you meant, but further to require that the user reselect a file if it has changed would be a UX killer.

Thanks,
