Before I say more, I will first point out that discussion is irrelevant 
if we only intend to allow one info package per INFO.

But MIME bodies are extensible with arbitrary headers. I don't recall if 
there is any requirement about standardizing them.

Lets not get off in the weeds discussing this until and unless we decide 
to support multiple info packages per INFO.

Could you please spell out precisely what your concern is?
