I agree with Brian about being a user experience question more than
accessibility. You could maybe argue that the link purpose might not be
fully understood if you don't have the file type, file size, etc but that's
debatable. If there's enough info to know that the link will download
something, is that enough to describe the purpose? Maybe. Do you need to
know the file type or file size? Maybe. It's a bit of a subjective
criterion.

As a user, I really like knowing the file type and file size. I would push
to include that from a usability side.
