I think I agree with Hadriel on this one :)

Legacy has issues, and people who want to continue using legacy will
have ways of dealing with that. The whole purpose of this work os not to
make legacy better, but to define something which solves the issues with
legacy - Info packages. 

Yes, our document is also supposed to cover legacy, but I don't think we
should specify anything more than what is in the current RFC today.

So, I think the question we shall focus on is: how do we identify that a
body part contains an Info package?

you've already pointed out in a previous email, is to simply say

(as SIP-T/SIP-I does, for example)

Each package can define what C-D value to use, but based on the
discussion I think that we will not use C-D to actually say "This body
part contains an info package".
