See, for example, http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/UploadForm .

I think that after performing the upload it returns to the
default "upload an attachment" page (as opposed to the view of
the existing page), but perhaps we can see about fixing this.

There are a number of features that people have wanted for 
(:attachlist:).  If we can develop a list of desired features,
perhaps I can get a basic implementation put together in the core
that others can flesh out.

This isn't easily done in the form itself (because it could then
be spoofed), but it can be done from a local customization file.  
Would that be sufficient?
