Re: [directory-upload] Consider how HTMLInputElement.getFilesAndDirectories could be used to avoid I/O blocking for FILE picking (#11)

If I understand you correctly, the use case for this is:

1. The directory attribute is set on input type, also making .files null per issue #8 .
2. A file picker is still used, and not a directory picker.

I'm not sure right now about the situations where 2. arises. Can you shed some light on this? Unless I'm misunderstanding you, won't older codebases ignore the directory attribute and resort to business as usual?
