MIME Notations

There have been several serious complaints about my FPI for MIME.
I have asked for clarification from the relevant standards body.

In the meantime, if we are nervous and need an FPI now, instead of using

<!NOTATION GIF
	 PUBLIC "+//IDN ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2046.txt//NOTATION 
         Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions::image/gif//EN">

we could decide on (if the XML-DEV leaders give their blessing)
something like

<!NOTATION GIF
	 PUBLIC "-//XML-DEV//NOTATION 
         ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2046.txt::Multipurpose 
	         Internet Mail Extensions::image/gif//EN">

I will let this list know what the outcome is.  Until then, better
safe than sorry.
