Yep, also on ARF.

Possibly, I don't know what MIME container is being planned.  But to
remove the restriction on wrapped multipart/report entities is not the
same as to permit wrapped reports: one won't be able to say that a
wrapped entity /is/ a report, if a report has to be at top-level by
definition.  (Thus, this path doesn't also solve the futile question
of how to forward a DSN, say.)

For an unrelated nit, please remove the phrases like

   Although this memo defines only the use of the Multipart/Report
   content-type with respect to delivery status reports

As we have two more report types already, they look unsightly.
