An ATTACH can contain a MID or CID URI, so it applies to iCal.
And iCal says that an iCal object is a MIME object. And I think we (WG)
had agreed that ical MUST required it (around Chicago time frame), then
all protocols using iCal MUST support it. Including iMIP and CAP.

As I recall, it was discovered by informal interop testing between
Lotus and Microsoft. And it was seen as a flaw in iCal.

I think we want ALL iCal protocols to be able to understand
multipart/related, multipart/mixed, and multipart/alternate
(all known multipart/* MIME objects).
