it depends, we expose them when we need them

the idea is to keep a11y closer to the UI, what the user sees on the
screen he hears the same by screen reader. It doesn't necessary
contradicts to what you said though. I'm certain we need to have that
'Browse' button, mapping of all other controls can vary I guess.

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.
