        I believe it is because it can automatically (depending on the browser) start a download…

          I’d like to hear from @aperson@beehaw.org, but if you are right then it’s those browsers that are “not cool”, and linking a PDF is not the problem.

      I disagree. I don’t think it’s the world’s responsibility to cater to someone’s bad browser configuration.
