The WPACK "working group" is working on another way that "Save As" might work (rather than multipart/related) if they are successful, and if the browsers decide to adopt it. [Roman] Thanks for clarifying. However, I don’t think that consistent HTML+SVG saving is the use case in question. I believe it was that browsers were not consistently downloading text files. As to the “save” vs. “save as”, I won’t presuppose the workflow of users.
But I don't have the option. From my browser (IE) I only have 'Save as ...' and the 'Save' option is greyed out and this is the behaviour I am used to when accessing RFC-Editor, data tracker, IETF etc and I think that that is the case for most if not all web sites. My alternative is to select all, copy and paste into a word processor or editor but it is not an approach I would commend.
