Free? Certainly not.

If, as an implementor, all I care about is INFO, and I don't have any 
other use case for multipart (which, as of now, are mostly niche uses 
and are not common), I'll now NEED to implement multipart for INFO.

So, I don't have a problem saying that INFO can contain multiple bodies 
as any message can, but I do have a problem with the idea that the INFO 
framework ITSELF allows multiple packages per INFO.
