+     *  
+     * NOTE 1: this file _is_ created.  For instance, I've been using this with the File plugin/lib

+     * file with my data.
+     *
+     * NOTE 2: the returned URI is a funky content://XYZ/%2Fencoded%2FURI%2FtoFile and I had to muck about 
+     * to make it usable in my cordova app.
+     *
+     * WARNING: if the user in in some directory and hits save without entering a filename, you get the content
+     * URI back, but it points to a _directory_ so... caveat emptor.
