If you want to POST multipart/form-data messages, you need a way to
specify the content-disposition of each part. See, for example,

  http://www.flickr.com/services/api/upload.example.html

The WG agreed to add a 'disposition' attribute to c:body for this
purpose, but I dropped the ball. We'll add it to the spec before the
REC comes out.

BTW, Flickr is also the motivation for my cx:send-binary attribute.
If you want to upload photos to Flickr, you must send the image data
as raw, binary data. They don't handle content-transfer-encoding
correctly. :-(
