Nah, seriously though, if any online application is to become a replacement for a local one (if Docs wants to replace Word, GMail replace Outlook) then in a sense you have no choice but to mimic not only the software functionality, but the OS functionality. Having a file association to a software is a behavior that people are just used to. In order to offer a service for the "masses", you have to think like the masses, not like geeks! Cheers, Eric.
