It would be nice to hear from someone at Opera about their willingness to
commit to this change
as well.
As a general point we think that making breaking changes to APIs with
multiple compatible implementations that are already shipping is a really
bad idea. So let's try and make this a one off.
That said, we will go along with the plan, but we can't commit to a timeline
for releasing the changed version.
Thanks James!
I agree this is something we should really avoid. The best way I think
we can do that in the future is to prefix implementations until specs
are agreed to be in a more stable state. I certainly have had my fair
share in not doing so enough, so not trying to shift blame here.

I have released a spec. update with File.slice resembling
String.prototype.slice (covered in ECMA-262 5th Edition [1]), which I
think is the right model (since Blob and String are immutable).
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#blob
Comments welcome and encouraged!
Other spec. updates will follow shortly.
