Yeah, that would be fine too. But just to be clear, Rabbit never looks
at any of these headers - rabbit always treats the payload as entirely
opaque and just forwards it on to consumers as necessary. How you
arrange agreement between producers and consumers of the type of the
payload is entirely up to you.
