HTML5 drag-and-drop and <input type="file"> should support FileSystem API-based async interface for dropped folders/files so that the webapps can traverse the dropped directory trees asynchronously (i.e. no blocking operations).
The original proposal on whatwg:
http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-November/033814.html
FileSystem API:

This is an umbrella bug for the feature.
