Default behavior should probably be "don't display this without asking".
Treating them as "inline" would cause the mail reader to display some
kinds of body parts without asking.

What does a mail reader do with "hidden" bodyparts if it can't display any
of the owners?  Should it then offer to display the "hidden" bodyparts? If
so, I would make the default (for unrecognized dispositions) "hidden". 
Otherwise, "attachment" is probably about right.
