Yes, please include file upload in the list. There was a lot of initial debate
about this, but the current internet draft is, I think, widely agreed upon.
The issue mentioned above is discussed in section 5.3 of the draft, which can
be found at:

ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-html-fileupload-01.txt

The sample implementation for Mosaic for X can be found at:

ftp://ftp.eit.com/pub/fileup/

We have also created helper applications for X and Windows that perform file
upload as specified in section 4 of the draft (although these are not publicly
available, yet.)
