When a web site offers me a PDF file, it's entirely *my* choice
whether I choose to open it within a browser window (plugin), in a
separate window (PDF viewer invoked as helper application), or
download it to disk for later perusal.

That's how the web was meant to work, and that's how I use it. I
don't appreciate having choices taken away from me by web site authors
and their henchmen.
