This wouldn't be a bad idea. Does anyone want to peek under the HYTIME
lid while we're at it?

This doesn't follow, though. I think the two ideas are completely
orthoginal. That is, you might want to deliver a resource as
multipart/related with content-id's identifying subsequent parts and
cid: URLs used as the link. You could do that today with the current
HTML spec, and the current HTTP spec, and just a new URL registered
scheme and a different browser profile.
