Everyone seems to think there needs to be a generic way of identifying body bits.

I do not see an obvious, generic way of doing this.

Thus for those out there who think there is a generic way of identifying body parts for SIP, please write text.

Hi Eric,

if you think the body handling draft needs to give guidance on this, could you be more specific as to what exact guidance you want to be given (i.e., send text if you think the draft should say something about this ;o) )?

Thanks,

Gonzalo

That was my knee-jerk reaction, until I realized that EVERY method needs to address the issue. All body-handling can do is give guidance. One approach is to bastardize Content-Disposition to mean Body-Part- Context, in the vein of Message-Context for e-mail (RFC 3458). Body-handling would specify generic SIP stacks to be aware that Content-Disposition is how you pair a body part with its intended use. Hope no one else wants Content-Disposition: render for anything else... Another approach is to mandate Content-ID, and give guidance to writers of extensions that add body parts to explicitly state how to address the relevant body part. So, one thing is clear: we really screwed up by trying to hack Message-Context into Content-Disposition. Mea Culpa for not noticing it sooner.

This "problem" already exists for current SIP messages, and it's up
to the new extensions that add body-parts to solve it in a
backward-compatible way for all message methods.  We don't need to
solve it specifically for INFO.

Hadriel has a point here.

We know that EVERY SIP usage where we end up with two or more
attachments is going to have the attachment-selection problem, aka
"which attachment goes with which extension?"

This isn't just a problem for new work; it's potentially a problem for
several old or ongoing bits of work that result in the potential for
multiple attachments.

Perhaps we should solve this universally in the body handling draft?
