I'm not sure that this is the right standard. The reason that we are
removing
Flash is that people are sad about some things in Flash. So I think we need
to replicate enough of Flash to get people to stop using it, but that
doesn't
mean we need to have it be bug-for-bug compatible with every feature Flash
has, including features we think are bad.
I don't think directory picking is bad - there are many sites with legitimate
uses. I think it's right that we need to think about the security implications
though, and members of the security team have been looped in to consider these
issues.
