I agree with Mark. Another alternative, would involve
"multipart/related" as defined in RFC2112:
The MIME Multipart/Related Content-type
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2112.txt

multipart/related is used in RFC 2110:
MHTML: MIME E-mail Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2110.txt

This technology is also used over HTTP. This RFC is 
more stable than the fragment interchange spec.
