 * A good idea, but the validation occurs **after** the file has been uploaded, 
   not before.
 * So if you want to avoid someone uploading an enormous photo taken on their phone
   without resizing it, for example, they have to wait 20 seconds for the image 
   to upload before being told it is too big.
 * To be useful this plug-in needs to validate the files _before_ uploading.
