Has anyone seen the DIME spec

[James McCarthy <jm...@symmetrysolutions.com>]

I just read a submission from a few Microsoft engineers for the
encapsulation of multiple arbitrary messages into a single binary message
attachment. The submission is called Direct Internet Message Encapsulation
(DIME). I am trying to understand why they did not just use the ZIP encoding
standard since everything that is in the DIME spec is already in place
within a ZIP encoded file and there are hundreds of implementations of ZIP
already in place.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
