I will just cover the comment on how attachment works in the Web App
at this time.

An attachment is added by editing a page. I have modified
WikiEdit.aspx so that there is now an upload control embedded in the
edit control panel and additional input controls that get info about
the file uploaded and then include WikiTalk Presentation code in the
editted Topic to provide the attach capability.

There are a couple of things about security. If a principal is unable
to edit any wiki topic in the federation, then that principal will not
be able to upload any files. If a principal has permission to edit a
topic, then that principal can upload a file and include that file as
an attachment on the topic being editted.

At this point the upload capability is at the federation level, but it
would be relatively easy to revise the capability so that it is
contained within the namespace. Security could be improved by adding a
4th verb "Upload" to the existing security verbs of "Read", 'Edit" and
"Manage Namespace". The semantics for this verb would be identical to
the other verbs.
