From the > http draft I can see no hint whether it is possible or impossible. It's possible, if browsers feel like supporting it. I know of no browsers that currently provide such support. Netscape's multipart/x-mixed-replace comes close enough that going to multipart/mixed doesn't seem like a huge step, but it's not an obviously "cool" thing to do so who knows. Also, if you are writing a browser that implements multipart/x-mixed-replace, please put a "Accept: multipart/x-mixed-replace" in your headers so that we can compare for that in our server-push scripts rather than performing a regexp on the user-agent... thanks.
