"You're doing thing wrong!" says person selling new method for doing things. I think it's slightly perverse that no browser has attempted to offer a method for uploading reduced-size photos. I know it's a new set of patents to trample over but this is a problem that has existed for years that has only been able to use messy plugins to workaround.

To me this isn't any weirder than limiting mime-type (which you can through the accept attribute).
