For an existing proposal along these lines, see
<draft-ietf-mimesgml-multipart-rel-00.txt>:

       Abstract

       The Multipart/Related content-type provides a common
       mechanism for representing objects that are aggregates of
       related MIME body parts.  This document defines the
       Multipart/Related content-type and provides examples of its
       use.

This draft even gives an example of embedded images, though in that case it is
a JPEG embedded within a general SGML document.
