That is the minimal use case, old browsers would behave as currently, those supporting this on the other hand would always present an expected Save As. I'm sure half the websites out there that display a thumbnail image but links to a larger or original image would jump at this. Another minimal example would be: <image src="cool_sm.jpg"> <a href="cool.png" download>Download the full image!</a> Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Screenreaders (you know, usually for those blind folks) would also benefit for this as ther would be no ambiguity as to what action should be taken. Obviously the two examples about do not make that much sense, but imagine if it was the audio example from my other post instead, instead of potentially having the browser try and play the audio it would instead download it to where the user would prefer (if it all), that way one could have a low quality <audio> and a <a href download> next to it that let you download the higher quality audio. -- Roger "Rescator" H?gensen.
