Except that the other Content-disposition values express the sender's intent, whereas this one expresses the receiver's [likely] perception. It might as well be "Content-disposition: discard" -- no sender would ever generate it. In contrast one could make at least a semi-serious case that by defining a media type for legal disclaimers, you could have UA's that by default hid it but didn't throw it away, so that you could see it later if for some inconceivable reason you wanted to. (And the issue of including different media types could be addressed by making it multipart/noise.)
On the other hand, if Ned and I disagree that's itself an indication that this is not a very serious discussion. :-) -- Nathaniel On Jul 19, 2011, at 4:16 PM, [email protected] wrote: >> Content-disposition: noise. > > Harald, I was about to say the same thing but you beat me to it.
