Remember, IETF standards are about how to interoperate.  If people want to interpret private extensions,
that is fine so long as the private ones don't interfere with public ones.

While we would like it if people published the details of their private extensions, just knowing the
names is useful since that keeps names from colliding.  So we should set up a FCFS registry for
extensions, specification would be nice but not required.
