Yes, this way. I am no great fan of the MIME wrappers
(they are so mail-oriented and human-readable!) but
I am so strongly in favor of merging related technlogies that
I feel MIME should do that, just as SGML should do the
mark-up. So in HTTP2, a document will be returned as
a MIME message. That is one reason for getting
text/html registerd as a MIME format now.

That's too many wheels within wheels.
