  Weird.  Why not simply use c:request/c:header then?

  So the content model of c:multipart is really (c:body)+,
instead of the current (c:header*,c:body+), right?

  About RFC 2387 only allowing Content-* headers for parts of a
multipart entity, I cannot find this requirement in the RFC.  I
can only find examples with Content-*, but not the rule forbiding
other headers.  I guess it is in another MIME RFC (this one is
only for multipart/related).  Did I miss anything?
