Stuff the [[plugins/attachment]] plugin is currently missing, that might be
nice to add:

user() pagespecs, to limit what individual users can do. (See examples
in [[fileupload]].
mimetype() pagespecs. (Using a mime type sniffer.)a
Virus scanning.
Make the attachments part of the Edit page hidden unless something is
clicked on to display it. To avoid clutter.
Add a progress bar for attachment uploads (needs AJAX stuff..)
Maybe optimise the "Insert Links" button with javascript, so, if
javascript is available, the link is inserted at the current cursor
position in the page edit form, without actually reposting the form.
(Falling back to the current reposting of the form if javascript is not
available of course.)
Set $CGI::POST_MAX to some sane value (ie, larger than the largest
configured maxsize() in the pagespec, or if none is configured,
something reasonable. Just as a belt-and-suspenders DOS prevention.
Only allow attachments to be added to a given list of pages.
Maybe a pagespec like parent(patches/*)
