No, I think this means we messed up every one of those methods when we
didn't address the multiple-body problem earlier. The reason it isn't
exploding yet is that the specifications are ahead of the
implementations; when the implementations catch up with the broken
specs, we'll have failures of biblical proportion.

Sometimes we can demux on body-type. This is obviously not a universal
solution. We really need a generic solution that works for all methods,
not just INFO.
