ticker attachments (again)

[David Arnold]

in ticker conversation today, Ian has proposed that the draft ticker
v3 spec be revised, renaming "Attachment" to "MIME-Attachment".

it's my impression (please correct me if i'm wrong, Ian) that the
motivation is to facilitate transition to alternative forms of
attachment in future, should that be required.  

in particular, the use of (the oft-proposed) structured notifications
to represent the nested attributes of an attachment might be possible
in future Elvin revisions.

additionally, the use of a monolithic MIME attachment is controversial
(to say the least :-) which IMO also argues for facilitation of later
replacement.

are there any objections to this change?
