> IE ignores "Content-Dispositoin:" headers completely.

Given a choice between always ignoring it or always following it, I
think always ignoring it is preferable, not only because it isn't part
of HTTP but also because always following it would grant undue power to
the publisher. But I'd like to think that a user-agent could treat
Content-Disposition as it was intended, as nothing more than a
suggestion. Nothing stops a user-agent from making the publisher's
'desired presentation' - be it the same as or different to the
user-agent's normal mode of presentation - *known* to the user, without
making it obligatory.
