[Maf] (Developers) MHT spec sightings

[Allister Beharry]

November's Dr. Dobbs has an article on transferring binary data using
XML. It points to a couple of standards:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP-attachments
http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-mtom/
http://www.w3.org/TR/xop10/

that, interestingly enough, use RFCs 2387 and 2557 (MIME
encapsulation/URI schemes) for transporting the binary payload. The
standards themselves  aren't related to MHT or MAFF, but since MHT
parsing has been a contentious issue, Chris, maybe the way the W3C
standards use MIME encapsulation could be useful (or act as the "last
word")? They also have a nice reference list of all the documents
related to MIME-encapsulation, that I've paste below. HOTH

# [MIME1] Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One: Format
of Internet Message Bodies (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt)
# [CID] Content-ID and Message-ID Uniform Resource Locators
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2111.txt
# [URI] Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt)
# [RFC2557] MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML
(MHTML) (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2557.txt)
