That pretty much defines a Web page as far as I can see. And if I recall correctly, application/xhtml-xml is the W3C's recommended media time for XHTML documents. The definition for multi-part isn't quite so easy to grasp on perusing the RFC. It seems to involve discreet pieces of data with very specific boundaries, and I don't think Web pages really fit into that definition. Chris
