So wouldn't the solution simply be to modify this behaviour? I'm sure<BR>
one could write a patch for at least Firefox and Chrome to detect this<BR>
situation and ask for a destination for all files...

It definitely would cover our needs, as long as everyone was using one of those browsers. Only benefit of it being part of the spec is that eventually it might be supported by every UA out there.<BR>

I still don't think it's part of any html spec, but the http protocol. Just because a web browser will typically be the UA dealing with it does not necessarily mean it's something that should be dealt with in an html spec.<BR>
