What meaning will this attribute have on a platform that simply doesn't expose the notion of a file?

I think that this attribute could be quite confusing, and it will likely become more confusing with time, as more platforms arise that have creative ways of presenting data to users. 

It also doesn't naturally help understanding that it's just poor man's Content-Disposition:attachment. From this point of view, I like Ian's original proposal (rel=attachment) more.
