Don't hold your breath waiting for the browser developers
to implement a file upload option. It's trivial, but still a pipe
dream for most service providers.
If the popular browsers implemented this feature, it'd make feasible
a huge number of projects which are currently mothballed.
I believe there's a mature RFC out there somewhere for Netscape et al
to follow.
