This is bad though, because if I want to provide binary data in CSV as requested in #1034 I need some way of providing that data.

Which suggests to me that the base64 option is the only one that can make sense for arbitrary SQL queries represented as CSV. Download links won't work.

Providing a binary download link here is actually extremely difficult.

The problem is that the SQL query itself represents data that can change from one moment to the next. It's no good showing a "Binary: 55 bytes" message that links to that same SQL query but with a .blob extension and arguments to select the particular result, because the data may change in a way that causes that query to return a different row - at which point the download link will give you the wrong data, not the 55 bytes you asked for.

So providing a download link risks being misleading.
