Hmm. I think you'll need to work on the proper labeling of things. Even
if the client opts into this format, the Content-Type will still have to
describe the overall payload.

You're basically inventing a new payload format that can wrap multiple
payloads. But then we already have multipart/*; it really seems to me
you should be using that instead.
