Dear Peter, dear John, dear all
Thanks very much. This is exactly what I need and the code changes proposed work perfectly as they are. At a short glance even the validators work as intended.
Now for the optional special bonus:
Is there a way to define the size of the boxes? The ones I see have 4 lines. Can I make them resizable somehow or define a larger size? (size="10" or resize="true" does not seem to do the trick.) Not a very pressing issue though.

According to the wiki, the "size" attribute is only used on "text" input, but generalising it or adding something like "lines" would make sense here - and also for "select" parameters.
It would be really nice if the user could resize the box if they wanted to - when trying to do a multiple selection from a long file list being able to seem just four entries at a time is painful. I used to have a Firefox extension to do this to arbitrary controls - very handy.
