Re: MIME compression mechanism

1994-10-16 11:24:40

One person suggested me that new semantics should be defined as well
as new values. That is, "+" (or any other proper character) can be
recognized a separator.

I don't think this will fly, simply because it goes flat against
the explicit decision of the 822ext working group NOT to allow
nested encodings in MIME.

This mechanize can easily extend like "Base64+LZ77+DES".

This is *precisely* what the working group wanted to avoid.
