More importantly there should be an implementation defined convention
so users get consistent behavior across sites. I don't see why authors
should care so much how users identify documents internally, when the
original point (type information) is nullified by filename
sanitization crucial to security. Browser are able to deduce
descriptive and rather unique names from the title, terser ones from
the URI and allow the user to choose his own. You'll never able to
assume your suggestion will be used, anyway.
