Other information

The Writable Files specification seems to be getting some attention lately, so it seems like it may be useful to have a position on it. See the repository, the WICG Discourse discussion, and the Google Developers blog post.

Also see the relationship to the old File System API proposal (caniuse).

Given the drafty nature of this, I think that the only sensible response is "defer". Once things mature a little, we can reconsider that position. It seems like some of the thinking here is headed in the right direction, some not. The details matter, but they are still very much in flux.

I merged the "defer" position... but I'm wondering if maybe we should leave this issue open?

[martinthomson]

I think that it would be appropriate to reopen, or open a new issue, when someone believes that there is sufficient new information such that reassessment is warranted.
