Re: AFTF requirements list with comments, pre-2003/01/28 telcon

On the AFTF call just completed I was asked to draft proposed working for 
new requirements relating to metadata.  Here's a cut:

DRx:  The specification should provide convenient means for extending the 
metadata carried with a message.  Such mechanisms should specifically 
allow for extensions to the set of metadata associated with individual 
parts.

DRy:  The specification should provide a means by which any or all parts 
MAY be labeled with associated MIME types.  (I.e. applications sending a 
message are not obligated to label parts with MIME types, but the 
specification must provide for carrying the MIME type if provided.)

How's that?
