Actually it's not a security violation since it's the browser that sees the directory not the server. I haven't explored this in detail, but I suspect that the problem is that you need to associate a form field with each file. By the time the browser chooses the file, it knows which field it needs to associate it with. So there would be not way to upload arbirary number of files.
It would be a cool extention to the multipart protocol.
