I see many benefits of doing it in XML compared to MIME.
In one important aspect is providing an extensible framework through
XML where MIME from the business perspective is more complicated
in M2H(machien-to-human) interactions or A2A/B2B scenarios.

Dick Brooks asked on April 12th: "Why should we invest a significant
amount of time to recreate MIME as XML when the end result is something
that is more complicated and less functional that MIME, why not simply
use MIME? What is the advantage of being "pure XML"? Someone please
answer this question - I'm stumped!"

Ooops!!  What if I substituted "EDIFACT" or "X12" for every instance of
"MIME" in your message?
