Thanks to everyone for discussing this in a civil manner.

I think we agree on these points:
- two forms on the same page for almost the same action is wrong, 
usability-wise
- upload validation is not used a lot, and people who use it don't 
validate "online" and "offline" documents at the same time
- we will probably not reach an agreement on whether the hybrid 
POST->GET system is good or bad.

As a result, I think the most reasonable solution is simply to move the 
"upload" form to a specific page, and leave only URI-based validation 
forms in both the homepage and detailed.html.

Thanks again.
