Is it something which is generic for all info packages (e.g.
application/info), OR is it something which is specified in the foo
package description?

Christer,
I don't understand where you are heading with this?
If I want to send an INFO with a jpeg, then what is this other mime
type
doing other than getting in my way.
OTOH, we haven't discussed Content-Disposition wrt INFO. In the
absence
of any mention, I assume that "render" will be used for info
packages,
and the detailed processing defined by the Info-Package value.
In some sense, the Info-Package value is serving the same purpose as
Content-Disposition. We could *consider* using the C-D *instead* of
the
Info-Package header, so that what we would be negotiating would be
the
acceptable C-D values. The downside of that is that we would then
need
to open up the registration of new C-D values. I think that might be
opposed by a lot of people.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
Shouldn't we use Content-Type to indicate what is in the message
body?
After all, we may need Content-Length etc.
Ah, no.
We had extended conversations on this earlier. Content-Type
tells you
what's in the body; it just doesn't tell you what to DO with the
body.
What, for example, is the purpose of an image/jpeg in an INFO?
That is not what I meant.
We can use the Info-Package header, but can't we use a generic
mime value - which tells us that there is an info package in the
body.
