client to download the target document in the download window rather than
opening the document in the same window of the browser as what is hapening
right now

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The first step is to register the keyword in the link registry and get browsers to implement it. Once we have a proven feature, then it&apos;s time to standardise.</thetext>
