[JDEV] Attaching MIME types

[Sunir Shah]

Is there an existing protocol for attaching MIME types in the 
Jabber message stream? Say I was talking to you and wanted to 
send you an image; could I embed that in a <message/> element?

This might look like:

<message to="foo at server" from="bar at server">
    <x 
        xmlns="jabber:x:mime"      
        type="image/gif"
        target="aWindow" 
    >
        [... insert MIME encoded gif; probably in a CDATA section ...]
    </x>
</message>

If not, to whom would I submit an RFC?

I recognize there is a specification for sending out of band 
data, but that isn't appropriate for the application I'm
working on. Indeed, the content is necessarily in band.
