This is meant primarily to differentiate between Web content and - say -
downloading a software program.  

If you see a way to tweak this - please post.  

Thanks.

Subject: RE: downloads

Hi Gregg,
A question. I think that every user can configure user agents for open
contents both inside browser and as stand-alone.
Some example:
- pdf: can Be downloaded, open in Adobe Acrobat Reader or view inside web
browser window.
- ppt: can be downloaded, viewed directly in browser (with ie only) or view
inside a Viewer.
- mpeg: can Be downloaded, viewed directly in browser (using the default
viewer that the user has choose to use: windows media, quicktime, realone,
winamp, etc.) or view inside a viewer.

So, are we sure that we have a right definition? Or you intend only
client-side application download?

    Oggetto: downloads

    The following note has been added to the Intro to reflect a decision at
F2F
    to differentiate downloads from web content

    Editorial Note: The working group is considering adding the following
note
    to the conformance section to differentiate Web Content from standard
stand
    alone software and other products that are downloaded over the internet.
    Note: If data, software or other data are downloaded over the internet
but
    are not viewed via a user agent then they are not considered Web content
and
    are not covered by these guidelines.

    Add this to the discussion of the INTRO tomorrow.

    Gregg
