Whether or not it's worth doing that really depends what use cases we're 
trying to address.  The initial post in this thread was just about 
defining what .value returns for file controls, which needs to be 
defined anyway and is what this thread should really focus on.

I don't think we should jump to the conclusion that we really need to 
provide an array of individual file names without defining why that's 
even useful for authors, especially when doing so doesn't actually 
address the original problem that was raised.
