Sure ...

Hidden requests that transmit the file to the server and refresh the current
view should be no real problem with Javascript. Though this might not even
be necessary. You could just trigger a normal REQUEST (the same that would
happen if you click on "upload") as soon as something is dropped onto a
"dropzone" on the website. AFAIK XML-RPC would not be necessary at all
(though it technically does the same with the HTTP protocol: hidden HTTP
REQUESTs, only using a special syntax ...)

I am absolutely no Javascript programmer, so I will probably not be the one
to do this. But it is certainly not impossible ...
