This unfortunately is not enough: the user must be able to save the data 
on their system (or better yet, it is saved automatically). I could 
create a document using DOM, and then prompt the user to save it using 
"save as..." on their browser, but it would be lovely to have this 
happening automatically - but I guess it's fairly impossible without 
ActiveX.

The problem with this is, that client must have access to the data, even 
when it can't access the server.
