>Is this a different model for 'alternates'? No. It is limited to media types and the syntax isn't even capable of handling media types with quoted parameters (which is why I introduced the braces notation). Even if it didn't have those limitations, the overhead of multipart/alternative is an order of magnitude greater than an Alternates with the same expressive power. ....Roy
