Re: [directory-upload] input.files shouldn't be null if directory attribute is used (or at least not if webkitdirectory attribute is also set) (#29)

We pondered that and realized that we would break backwards compatibility. The nice thing about `<input type="file">` is that it allows older browsers that do not support the new directory functionality to still allow users to select files. If we introduced, for example `<input type="directory">`, older browsers would not interpret that element correctly resulting in users not being able to even select file(s).
