The file upload field needs a progress indicator that expresses to screen reading user agents when a file upload is finished

Problem/Motivation

During the Minnesota Accessibility studies at Drupal Camp Twin Cities in 2013, our testers noted that a file upload field does not express to a screen reader that the file upload is in progress or that the upload is finished.

Proposed resolution

First, manual testing is needed to confirm the problem exists.
We might try a progress tag http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_progress.asp

Remaining tasks

Test with PECL to determine if this is still a problem.

Try to reproduce this issue and make a video. Post the link to the video.

User interface changes

For screen reading user agents, the uploading of a file will be indicated aurally.

API changes

Maybe a change to the file field.
