I do not feel like having the file submission control styled and

and privacy risk so I would not like to see this control disguised
as something else. Just like an alert window title, it should have
a consistent look for all applications.
The WebKit file input control would, I think, be safe to style because
it does not have a text field to type into, so no matter what it looks
like the user has to actively choose a file from the file open dialog
after clicking on it. The designs of most other browsers would be
vulnerable to disguising it as something else though, if the user can
be tricked into typing a file path.

HTMLInputElementinterface
This issue seems to be a very recurring and still unsolved problem
when dealing with Web internationalization / multi-language Web Apps.
I would like to suggest this to be reviewed with an editor comment
please.
Additionally, it's important if we could decorate separately the
file path text field and the browse button using CSS.
Best reagards,
