M's response, last we talked with them (5/6), seemed to indicate that
they would do so if enough requests came in. I gather that is how
RFC1867 file upload finally made into MSIE. I have not heard from them
since on this issue.
Just as a note, MSIE does not report an error when it runs into an
unknown authentication scheme (like "Digest" ...).
