[rabbitmq-discuss] Content payload structure

[Nicolai G.]

Ok, my bad. Looking at previous sections of spec 
(http://www.rabbitmq.com/resources/specs/amqp-xml-doc0-9-1.pdf) I get used 
that classes difine no properties, but the Basic class does (1.8.1.). 
Navigating through Table of Contents I didn't notice the table of 
properties defined by the Basic class :(
