Prasad,

 

The RosettaNet example you provided could easily be placed into the "payload" bodypart provided in our specification.  The approach described in the paper allows implementers to place ANYTHING into the "payload bodypart", including the multipart/related contents currently used by RosettaNet.

Hi,

I think it will be interesting to consider what RosettaNet had already done to address this issue. RNIF1.1 also uses a  MIME multipart construct to pack together XML and non-XML (e.g. binary) parts. However the "multipart/related" construct is used and  "content-id" is used to identify and reference the related parts.

I have attached a document that I wrote a little while back, to explain the use of the MIME construct by RosettaNet.

Thanks, Prasad
