Description Andreas Tolfsen 2015-03-31 13:32:20 UTC 
On sending keys to an <input type=file> element we should send back an "invalid argument" error with a helpful message if the file you try to set doesn't exist.  

As there may be guards against setting invalid/non-existing files in UAs, we should avoid doing so as it may cause the driver to have an internal error.
