I'm not sure that the BizTalk approach is all that wise.
It seems that choosing MIME would have been far better.
Thus, the message contains two documents; a BizTalk
routing document and the 'content' document. This allows
for other routing protocols to be used with the
message -- simply add another document to the binder.
This reminds me of Red Hat's RPM format. They could
have simply used pkzip or gzip and included a MANIFEST
section... just like Java's JAR files, which IMHO,
is the right way to do it.
