No, as some packages might well send two bodies in a single INFO.

For example, envision a location-enabled image push: It sends an image/ 
jpeg and a pidf/lo that are correlated.

You need the Info-Package header to tell you what two bodies to look  
for and what they mean, and the MIME markup to know which is which.
