[webkit-dev] Blob will support ArrayBufferView instead of ArrayBuffer for Constructor Parameters

[Kinuko Yasuda]

Hi,

I haven't been closely following the thread on public-webapps, but looks
like ArrayBuffer is back again:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#dfn-Blob

It was certainly not there in spec 20120712:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-FileAPI-20120712/#dfn-Blob

But added back when it's updated to take sequence<>
http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-FileAPI-20121025/#dfn-Blob

Currently it still works on WebKit but we show a deprecation warning on
console. Should we remove the warning?
