Graham, The XML Protocol Working Group has resolved issue 470 [1], regarding XOP's use of media types. Regarding section 1.2: this was indeed a typo, and we will have it corrected in the next draft. Regarding section 5: we did consider such a solution, but it had the drawback that the original media type would not be visible at the outer level using Multipart MIME. In other words, the multipart/related media type only allows a parameter to identify the media type of the root part; any parameters of the root part's media type must be discovered by examining the root part itself. Given this, we decided that the current design of XOP regarding media types, while not optimal, was the best we could do within the limitations of the MIME system. I hope this satisfies your concern.
