In principle yes, but because so many other sites have "worked around" this 
issue (usually by opening new windows, or forcing download), there is no real 
"default" that users are accustomed to. I've resorted to forcing download (yes, 
thus perpetuating the erosion of "default" myself...a vicious circle).
