If there is a single body, then the body part of the INFO is for the one and only package. If there are multiple bodies, one would be for the INFO package, and the rest for something else. I am fine with a cid in this case. But there is STILL just one info package per INFO message, and the only reason for multipart would be reasons having nothing to do with INFO framework.

It is not a theory. Once you have to explicitly identify the body part for an Info Package, you can identify the body part for ANY Info Package.

Can you propose a simpler way to unambiguously identify the body part with a mechanism other than Content-ID? That will help me see a way how one would have to add work to handle multiple body parts, as demanded by RFC 3261.

SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY didn't specify it because (1) the Event: header as specifies ensures only a single payload and (2) implementations may find themselves hopelessly broken when a legal, RFC 3261, multipart payload shows up.
INFO has to specify it so we do not barf.

This is bogus.

We do not *NEED* to define what happens when INFO has multiple info packages in it. If the syntax allows just one, and the spec allows just one, there can only be one.

And I will reiterate that, this is a separate question from whether an INFO can contain multipart, where one body is an INFO package object and the other is for a different reason (AIB). We are debating whether the INFO framework itself allows for multiple packages per INFO.

Less is more. We don't need more features just because they are 'free' from a hypothetical standards perspective. This argument is also bogus.
