>From an authoring perspective, "Upload:something" is what I would
use to refer to something I'm about to upload (as opposed to already
uploaded).  This is part of the reason that PmWiki has a preference
for the term "attachment" as opposed to "uploads" -- because to
people who are viewing the attachment, it's a "download" and not
an "upload".  :-)

I could probably live with AttachVerbose:, if it weren't so verbose.  :-)

Perhaps for the time being we can just provide a recipe that
changes the existing "Attach:" to display file size and time
information.  This leaves it optional, and a wiki administrator
could even set it to use "AttachVerbose:" or the like as an
alternative.
