The browser will invoke the download manager when navigating to a MIME
type that is not natively supported (or when using the appropriate
content-disposition, of when choosing "save link"). The download
manager will download any file whose MIME type is supported for
ACTION_VIEW by any installed application. That partially takes care of
your 3rd question (though you can't make it happen inline in the
browser).

The other 3 cases aren't currently supported, and quite some work will
be required in the framework until those can be supported reasonably
securely.
