For Multipart/Related (as described in RFC 2387), I
don't think it's applicable to 3204 as I think they would be 
independent. My reading of 2387 is that they depend on each
other.

This is not the case for 3204. They are not dependent.

(And really, it's way too late to change 3204).

But, if I interpret your question in a broader sense, I guess,
the question is "Do we need to say anything about
multipart/related?". I would extend it to parallel and digest...
I guess we should. But I'm not sure what should be said. 
If we don't have a use case for them, I'd rather we don't encourage
people to use it and create interop problems...
