Recently, annevk and hixie have changed XHR/WebSocket spec so {XMLHttpRequest,WebSocket}.send() could accept ArrayBufferView instead of ArrayBuffer:

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/xhr/rev/f0c81ac5c134  (XHR spec change)
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/xhr/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#the-send()-method  (XHR latest spec)

http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=7084&to=7085  (WebSocket spec change)
http://dev.w3.org/html5/websockets/#dom-websocket-send  (WebSocket latest spec)

However, this change yields compatibility breakage (i.e. existing code using send(ArrayBuffer) will no longer work), so we might want to discuss how to deal with it before implementing it.
