Abstract
   
   Currently, HTML forms allow the producer of the form to request 
   information, including files of data, from the operator using the 
   form. However, this capability is limited because HTML forms don't 
   provide a way to ask the operator to submit input from arbitrary 
   sources such as audio devices like microphones. Since input and 
   upload from various devices is a feature that will benefit many 
   applications, this draft proposes an extension to the HTML INPUT 
   type="file" form element. Motivations include language instruction 
   assistance, voice transcription, and high-quality speech 
   transmission under low-bandwidth conditions.
