For the record, I really dislike it when a property can be one of two types depending on the value of some other property. For example, we have the following two properties:

"is_multipart" boolean

"body" string or list of type mime-part-type

So if "is_multipart" is false then "body" is a [string]  however, if "is_multipart" is true then "body" is a [list of type mime-part-type].  

It seems like a much simpler way of doing this is to have two properties for the body...  

1) body

2) body_multipart

If you still want the boolean property of is_multipart, that is fine.  But lets not overload properties based on the value of another property.  PLEASE...

Thanks,

Bret
