FileReader.readAsX(closedBlob) operations are equivalent to reading a Blob of size 0. I think we should treat it as an error yeah. Since blob reading by nature has to be asynchronous and thus asynchronously produce an error, maybe the most consistent thing is to make XHR.send() and FileReader.readAsX also asynchronously produce a read error. This also has a lower risk of producing catastrophic problems. / Jonas
