Yes, it does.

I suppose so, if one could put it in a page-specific customization file, and have the special upload form on that page. Ideally, one would have a page, where one could give instructions about uploading the file, have a nice form, and follow that by an enhanced attachlist which lists the files that match the given pattern.
