I ''vote'' for this compromise. ;-)

Really: someone insert the <download /> tag, so seems to me a bad idea
to remove it. So:

a) extend a little with a md5="" and/or sha="" tag, totally ignored by
 the internal WSH downloader

b) extend a little wpkg.js to support an external downloader, as an
 option (so, default use the internal)

c) build an (example) external download script; i can do some try on
 the last, but really i've little cmd.exe knowledge...

But it is a little harder to ''look at'' download rules with and
external (server side) script; so, please, keep the download tag...
