this is the story. Allowing users to upload some files on a sensitive domain is 
dangerous. 
One possible example is users  uploading some crafted SWF file.
Now there are different way to defend to this. One option is using sandbox (or 
sub) domain (but this is more an operational defense).
What we can do at application level is to have a filter that works only on some 
configured paths (namely the one that general users are able to upload con ten, 
e.g. /content/forum/comments) and force a download of the file (hence 
Content-Disposition) for some Content-Type (e.g. application/x-shockwave-flash)

I hope this sheds some light

regards

antonio
