Hello,

I have an idea which would be very cool for HTML5.

Having a Content-Disposition property on <a> tags which does the same as
the HTTP Header.
For example changing the file name of the file to be downloaded or rather
have a image
file download rather than it being shown in the browser directly.

This would avoid constructs such as <a href="hi">Download</a> (Right click and click save
target as... to download).

It would also eliminate the need to handle such requests with a server
side scripting engine to change the headers dynamically to enforce downloading
of the content.

HTML5 can already act on the http headers with the rel="noreferer" property.

Please give me your opinion about this

Thank you in advance!
