The controversial point is exposing the label text as the value instead of the 
name, as this will break ATs that rely on the label text being the name. My 
understanding is that a decision hasn't yet been made as to whether to expose 
the text properly via IAccessibleText. If the answer to that is yes, we don't 
have to worry about this at all.

Title:
  <input type=file> does not accept textual input

Status in XUL + XPCOM application runner:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  Firefox 3 (3.0~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1) immediately opens a "file upload" 
dialog when I click on the file name field. Ff should only open this dialog if 
click on [Browse...]. Even after I close the dialog window I can neither input 
a file name directly into the field nor can I remove the file from the input 
field.
  It should be as easy editable as in firefox 2.

  I use Hardy amd64.
