as far as i can tell 2017 complements 2046 cause 2046 doesn't mention URL,
and 2017 *is* "Definition of the URL MIME External-Body Access-Type".
but then again as prolly you could tell from the previous post i'll deny
any clue on this issues :)

(it was brian who pointed me at 2017, i blame him :))
