Absolutely! I definitely agree that we need a type like this. The<br>
sooner the better. On that note, do you know what the latest status is<br>
within ECMA on this? I know you made a proposal on the webapps list<br>
(or was it here?), did that go anywhere?<br>

I made my proposal to ECMA TC-39 (the relevant committee). I will try to polish it and request it as an agenda item for the next face-to-face (in March). Independently, WebGL's typed arrays have been proposed.</blockquote>

However I suspect it'd be useful to be able to extract as Blob object<br>
as well, for storing in places like databases or to extract a url.<br>

If we end up with APIs in some places that only take Blobs as input, then we should probably have easy ways to make a Blob out of a binary data object or a string (like StringStreams in other languages).<br>
