Ned's MIME-based approach, for carrying the raction emoji's, is better

There have been some postings about the original version of the draft,
but not much on the latest revision, which adopted Ned's MIME-based
approach.
Any comments, criticisms, or suggested revisions on it?
I like the simpler solution, where the reaction message is only composed
by the top level MIME part.
I think it is more flexible and scalable than a multipart message structure
(mainly by a point of view of a client developer).
But, I was thinking:
this nice idea came from the socials where (in some cases like facebook)
the reaction can be an emoji or a comment (or both).
So, why not to define two types of reaction:
- emoji
- short text (comment)
The short text reaction is similar to a reply by a text message, but will
have a different semantics so that clients developers could use it
in a different way than a reply message.
Emoji reactions and short-text reactions should be carried by two simple
reaction message types. "Simple" is for: a message with only the top level
MIME part.
