In Chromium, this triggers a confirmation dialog of the form

|                                         [x]

| [v] Download multiple files
| 
|                       [ Block ]   [ Allow ]

Since the `download` attribute is an HTML5 feature, it might be better to 
trigger a server-side script that suggests the download instead.
