I have no idea how to handle such inconsistent behaviour on the server
side (except adding extra code to flatten all uploaded directory
structures before handling). I assume that HTTP upload should be kept
simple, and more complex upload tasks should be handled with
specialized applications, such as RadUpload[1].

I don't think we want to rely on the availability of Java on the end
user's platform (or the availability of any other plug-in for that
matter).
I did not mean including it into HTML5 or an UA. Just leaving
specialized upload tasks out of the standard, assuming that developers
will work with applications that they think are useful for their tasks
(and that rely on technologies they believe are avaliable at their
target audience).
And I mean that if it is important to application developers we should
make it available as a feature and not endorse some plug-in dependency.
