Singular content-type.  I don't think the rest of MIME (except some
encoding issues) causes much trouble.

Well, we now have ways to express other (non-primary) content types.

E.g., per RFC 2912, RFC 2913, ...

  Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="break"
  Content-features:
    (& (Type="text/plain") (Type="image/jpeg") (Type="audio/wav") )
