This would be nice user agent behavior and is a great suggestion. I recommend
filing respective browser bugs e.g. pick File Handling for Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox
(WebKit, Chromium, Chromium with cr-blink for Blink all have similar bug
databases).
An API spec. stops just short of this kind of prescription, and so this is no
longer under the purview of the File API.

OK, I've removed 'optional' and marked it a non-normative guideline in the
note. RFC2119 formalism expunged!
