+ *
+ *  This plugin is based on several specs, including : The HTML5 File API http://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/
+ *  The (now-defunct) Directories and System extensions Latest: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-file-system-api-20120417/
+ *  Although most of the plugin code was written when an earlier spec was current: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-file-system-api-20110419/
+ *  It also implements the FileWriter spec : http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/file-system/file-writer.html
