Having readAsDataURL take a File made sense when .url and .type lived on File rather than Blob. Now that Blobs have .types I agree that readAsDataURL should be able to read from a Blob. But, as you say, I think .url solves most of the use cases. One usecase I can still think of is a web based HTML editor which allows inserting images. These images could be included inline in the main document using data-urls which allows the document to be saved/sent as a single document, rather than HTML + a pile of images. / Jonas
