Long experience with protocol design has taught me that protocols should almost always have both an extensibility mechanism which is ignored by ignorant receivers, and one which causes ignorant receivers to abort. I don't know yet what we might use it for. However, we should test that it works (ie is ignored by) the receiver (or it will be useless).
