1.6 Applicability Statement

The MIME Parts Ordering in Multipart/Related XOP Package Extension specified in section 1.3.1 is applicable when an XOP Infoset packaged in a MIME Multipart/Related XOP package is processed in streaming fashion.

These extensions are not applicable to XOP packaging mechanisms other than MIME and those that do not specify their own packaging mechanism.

If broad interoperability with implementations strictly compliant with [XML-XOP] is desired, these extensions might not be a suitable choice.
