I do not need it in implementing ArrayBuffer support in FileReader and
BlobBuilder. Currently I just instantiate a subinstance of ArrayBufferView
to get the data for testing purpose. But it would be better if we can have
DataView implemented in order to provide a way for the user to
read heterogeneous data.

I noticed that and already used it in my test scripts. Thanks for pointing
it out.
