The SHAPE-ZIP output format supports a vendor specific parameter to
specify the file name to download as.
(&format_options=fileName:data.zip)
I guess it wouldn't be hard to make that generic and supported by the
WFS directly instead of specific for SHAPE-ZIP. So that if such a
parameter is given the appropriate HTML response headers are set.

Would that be what you're looking for? If so would you create a JIRA
issue for it? <jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS>

Cheers,
Gabriel
