I suspect it will go beyond CSS.

There are a certain kind of app on Android that makes the device FS available via a web browser.

Thing is that these apps invariably makes use of a Chrome-ism when dealing with drag and drop.

In Firefox you can only drag a single file at a time. drag over multiple, or a folder, and there won't be much of a result.

In Chrome however it will transfer over just fine.

This has been sitting in the Mozilla bugtracker for some time, because the Chrome behavior goes beyond the HTML spec for file uploads.

Yeah sometimes I wonder if providing extra behaviors is good or bad.

Certainly it could save developers a lot of works and save users a lot of time, but it may become next ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

Maybe Chrome should put a warning into the console, saying that this function is experimental.
