MIME has thought about all these issues and come up with
*practical* approaches to them. WWW should use MIME whenever possible,
even when other approaches are "better" from some points of view.
MIME has a lot of experience behind it in Andrew, which had
lots of hypertextish (www-ish) aspects. And the internet future
is MIME.
It should not be hard to find an extensible way to embed MIME
in HTML and HTML in MIME. Notice MIME documents can already
have anchor-names in them (Content-Id:), references to
external documents, etc.
