Consistency with android intent must help developers. I strongly disagree that consistency with Android intents should be taken into consideration when designing an API for the Web platform. Especially if this makes the API inconsistent with the rest of said platform. As previously mentioned in this thread, INPUT[type=file]'s `files` property always points to a FileList[1], whether or not the multiple attribute is set. Similarly, the `files` property of the dataTransfer interface of Drag and Drop[2] also points to a FileList regardless of how many files have been added to it. I don't see any benefit in diverging from this well-know and consistent behavior. --tobie --- [1]: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#file-upload- state-(type=file) [2]: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/dnd.html#the-datatransfer-interface
