      Remove required support for this header.
      Change text of 5.1.9:
      [RFC2045] to [RFC2183]
      and Profiling Rule (a) :
      The “Content-disposition” header on MIME body parts, when used, MUST carry file name information. Implementations MAY support the setting (when sending) and reading (when receiving) of “Content-disposition” header,

Implementations MAY support the setting (when sending) and reading (when receiving) of “Content-disposition” header,

      Description

      In section 5.1.9 support for use of the "Content-Disposition" MIME header and its "filename" parameter is required.

      A payload however does not necessarily have a file name. It is unclear how the header should be used in such case.

      For exchanging such info it also is more logical to use the PartProperties element in the ebMS messaging header.

      The text also refers to "MIME specification (IETF) [RFC2045]". This RFC however does not mention this header. It is defined in RFC2183.
      The MIME packaging used by AS4 (SwA) is defined in RFC2387 (MIME Multi-Part). Section 4 of that RFC discusses the use of the Content-Disposition header and recommends not to use this header unless handling of the filename parameter is explicitly specified. This is not the case in ebMS V3/AS4.
