the filename of the first file in the list of selected files 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#concept-input-type-file-selected>, if 
any, or the empty string if the list is empty. On setting, it must throw 
an |INVALID_ACCESS_ERR 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/infrastructure.html#invalid_access_err>| 
exception.

Why only the first file in the list? It can't be for 
backwards-compatibility, as the multiple attribute never existed before 
this spec. Doesn't it make sense to list all the files?
