Description
MNRead.get uses the pid for the download filename, but should use the EML objectName for the filename. This is currently done for each component filename in MNPackage.getPackage(), which provides
much more user-friendly filenames than a uuid, DOI or other similar identifier.

EML is one format supported by DataONE. Perhaps rephrase this to indicate that the content disposition header in the http response may suggest a filename alternative to the pid as recorded in the metadata and the client should utilize this information when available.

MNRead.get uses the pid for the download filename. Possibly the content disposition header in the http response may suggest a filename alternative to the pid as recorded in the metadata and the client should utilize this information when available.
For example, if the object is described by an EML document, the objectName element may provide a more meaningful filename for the user than an opaque id.
