Zach,
You could do something like have a textarea where the user can enter a
list of cities and have a [Add] button, then in JS read the textarea,
split the text on linefeed into an array, the cycle through the array
and make an ajax request to geocode each city and add it to the map. Or
you can just send the whole textarea contents to the server and have it
parse and geocode then send back a geocode list like "city,x,y" and
parse that in JS and add the markers.

need some real-life examples of how this could be done in batch.

Subject: design question: how to geocode multiple dynamic "city, country"?
To: PostGIS Users Discussion
Cc: PostgreSQL
i accept multiple "city, country" from users on-the-fly, and want to
dynamically map them.
i could create a table where i insert their multiple entries, and then
geocode that table for display.
but i also want to avoid giving write permission to the web user.
i could create a schema and restrict write to that schema.
or something better?
