While implementing this in Servo servo/servo#44943, the sentence looks ambiguous to me. I have to test and figure out whether non-file fields should also be escaped.

  • At least two implementers are interested (and none opposed):
    Gecko, Chromium, Webkit already doing this

  • Tests are written and can be reviewed and commented upon at:
    Covered by existing tests: see wpt.fyi for FileAPI.
    Some of these should probably be moved to html/semantics/form test suites, but that is another story.

  • The top of this comment includes a clear commit message to use.

(See WHATWG Working Mode: Changes for more details.)
