They are not easy to work out, but it would be interesting to try. :-)If we want to replace email, maybe copy email's solution? I can imagine something like this:<message xmlns:content="...."> <body content:type="text/plain"> (plain text would still use body element to be backwards compatible) </body> <content:part type="text/html"> <html xmlns="......">.....</html> </content:part> <content:part type="image/png" encoding="base64" disposition="inline" filename="x.png"> ............................... </content:part> </message>Except that I hate MIME. :-)If Peter says so, then I will consider hating MIME, too. Just need to find some reasons first ;)
To be more precise, I don't think that attaching files to email messages is a smart way to transfer files.
Better, I think, for the sending domain to store the attachment (WebDAV anyone?) and for the recipient to retrieve the attachment via a well-defined file transfer method.But you still need a method to advertise the attachments somehow.
Sure. XEP-0066 or XEP-0137 or something like that. IMHO XEP-0129 could come in handy here...
