Additionally, I think http://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/#dfn-type should clarify that the browser must not use statistical methods to guess the charset parameter part of the type as part of "determining" the type. Firefox currently asks magic 8-ball, but the magic 8-ball is broken. AFAICT, WebKit does not guess, so I hope it's possible to remove the guessing from Firefox. (The guessing in Firefox relies on a big chunk of legacy code that's broken and shows no signs of ever getting fixed properly. The File API is currently the only thing in Firefox that exposes the mysterious behavior of said legacy code to the Web using the default settings of Firefox, so I'm hoping to remove the big chunk of legacy code instead of fixing it properly.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
