Hi,

I don't think that defining Info-Package as a mime header would even be within the scope of the SIP WG, would it?
 
My assumption has been that the I-P header is in the SIP message part, and that causes the problem: in the case of multipart, how to associate the correct mime with the I-P header? I still think making assumptions on C-D is very dangerous, considering the very little experience we have of the C-D header in the first place.

Again, I don't think using C-D for the "association" is a good idea.

...assuming that we don't allow multipart in INFOs, yes.
