   MIME could be a file structuring thing as you're suggesting.  It's
   was designed with mail systems in mind but I can't think of many
   things which are unique to them.  The most obvious is encoding
   anything not 7-bit clean.

   But why is MIME *uniquely* suited to this purpose?  

It's not, but it is available, extensible, and becoming very popular.

I don't know about y'all, but at this point in time that's all I need
to hear...
