input type="file" weird behavior

It seems that reused input elements with type “file” do not clear their selected file correctly see: http://jsfiddle.net/mnypy1do/3/

also if you explicitly do: <input type="file" value=""/> (http://jsfiddle.net/mnypy1do/4/) the same thing happens

I don’t know what the proper behavior here should be, probably the best would be to pass in the FileList back into the input via files prop when something gets selected

The only problem is that getting an empty FileList is not an obvious thing, can’t just do new FileList(), you have to

var input = document.createElement("input");
input.type = "file";
var emptyFiles = input.files;

see: http://jsfiddle.net/mnypy1do/5/

and passing null wont worke either, unless there would be special handling for this (input.files = null) does nothing

Any thoughts on this? Thanks
