I like it... with our current blob api, it's impossible to compose a multipart form submission that contains binary parts... a big omission... this makes that possible. And this also maintains immutability of blobs which i think is a good thing. A companion sample that contains a javascript class to construct a properly formed multipart encoded blob would be nice too... where to put how many crlf's and how to use the boundary string in the payload as well as the content-type header are obscure details that webapp developers usually don't have to deal with.
