When I say the "Save As" UI I mean the one you get currently, which
varies, some browsers only provide a Save As and Cancel, while others
provide Save As with Open and Cancel.
I can't name a single browser that provides an "Open" option if you
select "Save As" from the context menu. Can you?
So based on your remarks, maybe the spec could state that if a browser
believe it can handle the file type then it should present a Open + Save
As UI,
but if it can not handle the filetype (aka handling un-configured or the
user set the browser's settings this way) then it should just present
Save As without Open.
So you mean the browser should act as if content-disposition:attachment
were specified? Why not just say that?
