Gavin, I just want to point out that no one is arguing that
MHTML is a bad thing.
I'm sorry for going down a rat hole. My reaction was to Keith's
statements...
>I think the general consensus of the MIME community is that making HTML
>a subtype of "text/" was a mistake.
...
>So IMHO we should learn from this experience and make XHTML and other

and I was just trying to point out that text/* is fine for some things...
for example text/xml *if* the text is generic/not application specific.
For example, if I have a multipart message with an XML document, and
a CSS stylesheet, I think text/xml would be fine for the XML (and
perhaps application/css for the CSS ;-)).
Apart from that I agree with the general direction.
