HTML5 would declare IE and Opera's "fakepath" behavior to be "standard" and Firefox, Safari, and Chrome's behavior to be "nonstandard". HTML5 assumes that Mozilla, Apple, and Google are willing to change their browsers' behavior to match IE and Opera. However, as far as I can tell, none of these companies plan to do so. Further, HTML5 expects us web developers to work around the fakepath behavior for the next 20+ years in the name of compatibility.
As far as I'm aware, Apple does not have a problem with the fakepath requirement.
