 In 3.4 there was a lot of improvements. For 3.5 I would like to see some
 major improvement in wp.uploadFile and metaWeblog.newMediaObject.

 At this moment you can't insert a description, alternate text or caption.
 ( #5461/#18684 ). Also the file can't be attached to a post ( #13917 ).

 The overwrite functionality also doesn't work ( #17604 ). Not sure why
 this exists since WordPress itself doesn't do this.

 Also the current way isn't how WordPress does it internally.
 wp_handle_upload() doesn't get used (#6559).

 There is also going on something wrong with mime types ( #12518 ).

 Also the work from 3.4 should be implemented ( #6430 ).

 Last thing is that WordPress normally also looks at the EXIF information.
 At this moment the XML-RPC also doesn't do that ( #18087 )

 rarely related: #12493 - filter for wp_upload_bits
