DIME and MIME couple of questions

Hi,

Managed to work my way through all the MIME vs DIME threads and it helps
quite bit in understanding the issues.

I can certainly relate to simplicity of implementations and the efficiency
aspects. I do have couple of questions related this however.

1. Does DIME put any restrictions on what MIME types can be encapsulated in
a DIME record? It did not seem so but, specifically can composite MIME
types be used? If that is the case it seems DIME processors will need to
deal with somehow processing these types? Of course the receivers will need
to deal with MIME if the sending side decides to encapsulate composite MIME
types. If the intent is to send MIME leaf-types as attachments with some
primary doc, it seems it would be good to restrict to non-composite types,
then the boundary processing etc. that exist in composite types can be
eliminated. Any comments?

2. Record chunks is good idea. However has any thought been given to
supporting shipping things in multiple DIME messages as in MIME message
partials when things are really large?
