-1... incorporating something like inline-depth=1 into the media
type would not be a good thing. The media type is intended to
describe the kind of document that's being passed around and not
specific details about the documents construction.
This reasoning is not very useful really.
When I say something like "application/atom
+xml;type=entry;profile=tree", what I'm saying is that the document
is potentially a hierarchical Atom entry but in order to determine
anything more about the document I have to retrieve and examine it
directly.
Just like type=entry says that the document contains a single Atom
entry element, and profile=cmis1.0 says that the element has certain
extensions, inline-depth=1 could say that the extension uses link in-
lining to a certain depth.
The problem really is that the meaning of inline-depth is not well-
defined.
