How is it a limitation Brandon? It IS in fact possible to upload multiple files at one time... The only thing that isn't possible is selecting more than one file at a time using nothing but a <file> form element. Can you elaborate on what the limitation is?

Yes, I can. The limitation is that for every post or get, you can only have ONE multipart/mime file. When you have multiple <file> elements you actually perform multiple posts to submit each one. That's why an applet is necessary. The applet opens different type of connection to the server, which in turn outputs many posts to the server. Now, if you use multipart/mixed as the type of submission you can actually handle multiple files in one stream, but you have to be careful of the encoding. Either way, you can't have the client decided what type of encoding to send to the server on the submit. The form itself needs to define that and have an appropriate CGI or in our case, Action to handle the content type. Hopefully this is helpful.
