nsIDOMFileList naming not consistent with other DOM or JS objects 



+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #403856 +++

Issue 2. 
========
fileList vs files

Always we used the plural form of the item name to represent Collection/List

Example

arguments
documenrt.links
selection_element.options
documenrt.plugins
documenrt.embeds
documenrt.anchors
documenrt.forms
documenrt.applets
documenrt.images


But for nsIDOMFileList we appended word "List" to the item name

Expected by convention: just "files"

Doesn't look like there's a spec covering this, so I'd say we should just go ahead and change this. Patches accepted, should be trivial.

Asking for blocking to keep this on my radar
