Is it really best to add another overloaded meaning
to the INPUT element? How about a new tag:
<!ELEMENT ATTACH - O EMPTY -- "Attachment" or "file" input field --
>
This would leave room for extra attributes that only
apply to file submission, e.g.,
<!ATTLIST ATTACH
name NAME #REQUIRED
accept CDATA #IMPLIED
-- Legal MIME content-types for this attachment,
specified like in HTTP Accept: request header
--
... others? ...
