Subject: RFC 2388 (multipart/form-data)

Hey Larry,

Do you know if there is anyone working on fixing RFC2388? People keep 
asking me to update the HTML spec to just define it all inline rather than 
deferring to the RFC since the RFC leaves a lot of stuff underdefined, but 
I don't have the bandwidth to spec all that myself at this point.

e.g.:

   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19879
