There are two possibilities:

1) A proposal for adding binary metadata breaks already-encoded files, 
in which case I don't think we should do it, considering people have 
been producing those files for over two years now under the expectation 
that they would continue to work, or

2) A proposal for adding binary metadata does not break already-encoded 
files, in which case we have exactly the future extension mechanism you 
want (emphasis on "future").

Your Proposal 3 obviously qualifies. I believe Proposal 4 could be made 
to work (some care is required around the Vorbis issue, and to not paint 
ourselves into a corner later, but those are details).
