Title: Re: [ebxml-msg-as4] compression indicator

I would say the “Compressed” property is redundant. But, I do not necessarily have a problem with the redundancy if it is helpful.

Should we make the compression indicator at higher level than just MIME COntent-Type?

 "The content type of the compressed attachment MUST be "application/gzip": this is an indicator to the receiver that compression has been used."
 
It seems appropriate to  - also - indicate this at a higher level, in the eb header, where we also give other encoding details on the part:
 
    <eb:PartInfo href=""cid=foo@example.com <outbind://11/cid=foo@example.com> " <mailto:cid=foo@example.com <mailto:cid=foo@example.com> > >
        <eb:PartProperties>
            <eb:Property name="MimeType">application/xml</eb:Property>
            <eb:Property name="CharacterSet">utf-8</eb:Property>
            <eb:Property name="Compressed"/>
       </eb:PartProperties>
    <eb:PartInfo
