So the type is unpredictable, fair enough. A developer should be allowed to specify any type, and similarly a 'user' should be allowed to attach any kind of file. But in terms of transmitting (sending) the message over the wire, does it really matter? Maybe I oversimplify things in my mind, but thinking of multipart http requests, those are quite easy to generate. Note, I am only talking about sending, not about receiving..

I this low-level, general-purpose feature in the language should allow the developer (in this context, "developer" is probably more appropriate than "user") to set all possibilities based on his/her specific app requirements. What's the MIME type of the content of a c:data? Can be anything, really. Of course, one could build a step on top of this one to set the MIME type accordingly to a filename extension, or any other rule. But IMHO that is more dedicated than a general-purpose step.
