Re: [directory-upload] UI musts are a no-no (#16)

The reasons we are defining UI are twofold:

1. We want to allow OSes to be able to support a combined file and directory picker in the future and  not require the web developer to make changes. The two-button UI makes it possible for OSes that don't support the scenario to be able to choose a directory or files.
2. If you don't specify the UI, you lose the context and need for the chooseDirectory method.

We have been debating whether or not this is actually the best way to solve this problem going forward mainly because, like you said, we'd be requiring UI. Having said that, if you have a more elegant way of solving this problem, we are open to suggestions =)
