The same as sending it per email, I guess.

As far as I understand, that would be a change over what's being done today.

I'm not sure how the DOM exposed for something that hasn't got any support
today is really relevant. That being said, I'd be happy if the spec required
support.

But the original issue would remain: by being overly specific the spec in
principle prevents innovation in text/plain. It shouldn't.
