I haven't had the time to follow the discussion on this topic, but
the original intent was to replace the Archive-Name pseudo header
(or to have a formal way to represent it). If the semantics for
Content-Disposition's filename parameter were the same, that would
be alright; but since Archive-Names routinely contain (logical) path
information which is to be deleted for security reasons in
Content-Disposition's filename parameter I doubt it is.
