Let me complement the proposal with a use case: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3358209/triggering-a-file-download-without-any-server-request
Now something like that is a bit more tricky, but can't Javascript actually trigger a proper Save As? Something like <a href="#" onclick="*javascript*: document.execCommand('Save As','1','saveMe.csv');"><img src="./images/*save*.png"></a>
Should in theory work, but I think browser support for that is spotty, so the solution to that stackoverflow post either lies in deep Javascript vodoo. Or make a suggestion to the Javascript "folks" would be better? In any case a download attribute would only improve such a functionality (if javascript support it) even further by displaying the proper UI.
