I would add systems like Firefogg help a bit with chunked uploading letting us accept larger files by breaking it up into 1 MB POST chunks on the client side. Also new-upload-api has improved http copy upload support so if the 500MB Tiff or 5GB .ogg was ftp uploaded to a remote server with http serving, it could then be ingested over http download rather than POST upload. (which would be more resource friendly / reliable with large files)

On a related note... have you looked at the AtomPub spec for uploading? I dodn't look too closely, but it seems worth considering.
