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).

Thanks for the feedback.

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.

It's not clear to me how this differs from a regular response, or perhaps
more to the point, how a client would handle it differently.

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.

Well, one of the nice things about this proposal is as long as we make it clear
that the current content-disposition is only defined in conjuction with an
"emoji", we can always extende it later to other uses. But for now I think
keeping the ask we're making of client developers small is a good idea.
