This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Currently, the File API makes use of the terminology "dereference..." when talking about the Blob URI. HTML5 uses this to refer to javascript: URIs, but also "Fetch" to refer to URLs. We should make this consistent.
This bug doesn't materially slow down implementations, so I'm marking this WONTFIX till further notice.
