How about this:

   * Deprecate the inline-binary syntax for ATTACH, in favor of using data: URIs (RFC-2397).
   * Write a document extending data: URIs to permit arbitrary Content-* headers (a Good
     Thing for many purposes, not just calendaring; for example, tagging inline content with
     Content-Language).
   * Now, if you want to send an inline attachment with a filename, use a data: URI with a
     Content-Disposition.
