Paladins CAN only make one attack in a round that they smite. It's a supernatural ability.
the text in the PHB says "a paladin can smite evil with one normal melee attack", but nowhere says anything about making multiple attacks in that round. Thus, the supernatural ability takes precedence.

Which is why smites can really hurt.
And I'm not contesting that paladins can get high abilities - it's just that, so can the barbarian. That's why you just keep the numbers even.
As for charging smite - never happens. How often do paladins actually USE their mount?
