Re: DIME Use Case?

It all depends on what you need - if you need MIME then MIME is clearly
the way to go. Many applications, however, does not need the flexibility
that MIME provides. At some level, the purpose of DIME is really to
allow you to make a clean choice between which description framework you
which to use: MIME, XML, or something else entirely. 

As such, DIME is not a replacement for MIME - it is a way for enabling
you to choose which framework you want to use. If you want MIME then you
can wrap that in DIME, if you want XML then you can wrap that and so on.
