This is bogus.

We do not *NEED* to define what happens when INFO has multiple info 
packages in it. If the syntax allows just one, and the spec allows just 
one, there can only be one.

And I will reiterate that, this is a separate question from whether an 
INFO can contain multipart, where one body is an INFO package object and 
the other is for a different reason (AIB). We are debating whether the 
INFO framework itself allows for multiple packages per INFO.

Less is more. We don't need more features just because they are 'free' 
from a hypothetical standards perspective. This argument is also bogus.
