	~~Ideas around changing~~ the FormData ~~API~~.		Defining the FormData format (multipart/form-data).

	* Populate FormData from the server. (multipart/form-data entity -> FormData)		Each entry either has
	* Get and manipulate FormData values.

	=~~=FormData Proposal==~~		Content-Disposition: form-data; name="..."

	* void append(name, value [, filename]) — appends new entry to end of entries, normalizes Blob to File		or
	* boolean has(name) — basic boolean check
	* sequence<(DOMString or ~~File)> get(name) — get all entries for name~~
	* void remove(name) — removes all entries for name

	~~Also support iterator on the object~~.		Content-Disposition: form-data; name="..."; filename="..."
			Content-Type: ...

	~~==XMLHttpRequest Proposal==~~		Issues:

	~~responseType =~~ "~~formdata~~"		* The HTML dirname feature seems to be one way only. Maybe the feature needs to be redesigned?
			* If there is no name, imply "isindex"?
			* Encoding: name appears to consist of bytes (per encoding of form)

	~~Parse as multipart/form-data and populate FormData. Probably need to have a good definition of multipart/form-data first.~~		==HTML Idea==

	~~XXX: The HTML dirname feature seems to be one way only~~. Maybe ~~the feature needs~~ to be ~~redesigned?~~		Something like HTMLFormElement.populate(FormData) which updates all entries with the data from FormData. Maybe it should take a dictionary to indicate whether unaffected items should be cleared or retained.

	~~XXX: If there is no name, imply "isindex"?~~		== History ==

	~~==HTML Proposal==~~		Initially this page was about evolving the FormData API. That has long since happened.

	~~Something like HTMLFormElement.populate(FormData) which updates all entries with~~ the ~~data from~~ FormData. ~~Maybe it should take a dictionary to indicate whether unaffected items should be cleared or retained~~.
