No, currently this is not possible. However, it has been suggested before, 
and it is likely we will eventually have something for this.

In the meantime, Mozilla have experimental stuff on HTMLInputElement that 
might be of interest and the Google Gears team recently started looking at 
a Blob API family to handle this case. I recommend looking there.
