If the spec is too hard to support properly, implementations will not

it doesn't take a moron to overlook one of the content-disposition 
RFCs. How many programs get filename encoding wrong? (I suspect I do, 
come to think of it.)

what do people think - would a MIME roadmap document be worth the
trouble of writing?

Yes - I'd very much like to have one.  

I'd love to have something I could show people to get them up to speed
and into the conversation with all the parts they need.  Of course, I'd
have to get myself up to speed first!
