Boundary name as filename

Would it be possible to use the name of the boundary as filename when downloading boundaries?

The old Wambacher Site used a format like 'Germany_51477_AL2' (name_id_level)

This has been, and in a way still is, under consideration.

But it doesn't really make sense when downloading more than one OSM-ID for example. It also adds complexity with foreign characters.

If there any good reason for this besides saving the seconds to rename the file afterwards? If the user downloads many polygons, ie causing a lot of work, the user probably has a list of the IDs and should then keep them together with their name as well? And in that case use scripted downloads. With curl you can choose the filename yourself.
