What's the use case?
Does anyone want to implement it?
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-07-21 20:39:22 UTC 
I'm not going to do this, since there doesn't seem to be much demand. Eventually structured clone is going to have to be made more generic and probably the core of the algorithm moved to the ES spec. Given that, I'll punt this back to XHR for it to be dealt with there.

Structured cloning FormData is already more or less required for XMLHttpRequest's send(), so we should probably just do this.
