There's also the issue of data integrity. Would someone tweaking this stuff
in transit be able to cause any problems? I assume the answer is "yes" since
executable code can be involved.

There's also the issue of what, if anything, is done to prevent
tampering or leakage. Is there a preferred mechanism for adding
integrity/confidentiality services on top of this media type? Or does
the type itself include facilities for this?
