[webkit-dev] Plan to move TypedArray out of WebGL feature guard

[Charles Pritchard]

You need to have Blobs for ArrayBuffer to be of much use for XHR,
because you need to be able to set the Content-Type, and browsers may/will
fiddle with the content-type header you set, if you have not passed a Blob.

Blobs are defined under the File API (I believe).

Blob is already under the XHR spec, though I haven't seen it used in 
Webkit distros (responseBlob).

FileSystem is a wholly different matter.
