FWIW, the MIME type is easily modified too... hence the need to check
inside the file to figure out what it really is. Does anyone do
this? Rarely.

Upload Filter?
Thanks that is what i thought. However i disagree
with one
point. Browsers
could
Interact with this dialog the same way other
applications do; they just
dont.
The terminology of files of type is windows
specific but i believe other
oses
support this as well but maybe with a different
name.

True. The dialog box is the native OS file dialog,
and the browser cannot
send it information.
Besides, the "files of type" filter is
Windows-specific.
