-------------------------------+----------------------------
 The docs in source:docs/frontends/webapi.rst currently claim (in section
 6.5, "Browser Operations" > "Uploading a File", around line 1150) that
 doing a POST to {{{/uri?t=upload}}} will always "return an HTML page that
 describes the results of the upload. This page will contain information
 about which storage servers were used for the upload, how long each
 operation took, etc".

 At present, we only actually do that for immutable uploads. When creating
 or modifying a mutable file, it just returns the filecap.

 We should implement a {{{PublishResults}}} object, have mutable-file
 creation (and probably modification) populate it with a few useful items,
 and return it from {{{.publish}}}, then write a renderer for it.
