I think if one is transmitting documents of this order of complexity,
one should be using SGML or some other structured text mechanism suited
for the purpose.
Absolutely. I wasn't really arguing that MIME be extended to address this
issue. The general problem of defining a represention for compound documents in
all their glory is not one that MIME should try to address. In fact, I've
argued that
richtext be simplified in the next revision.
