+          The group has not at this time reached consensus on the best manner in which to obtain
+          access to a file writer. Issues have been noted concerning the <code>type=saveas</code>
+          approach, and it has been suggested that an API call to prompt for download directly
+          would introduce no security risk not already present in the browser stack. Feedback from
+          the community is particularly welcome on this point.
