Bear in mind that "optimize for" doesn't mean "support at all"; if
download=filename is used, it seems unlikely that there will ever be *any*
client-side way to supply the filename without implying attachment, which is
a very different thing than "not optimizing for it".

I don't feel strongly enough about this to press it further, but <a
href=ugly download filename=pretty> also seems fairly clean, and avoids
combining parameters that really are orthogonal to one another.
