Thanks Greg,

From this I see that your assumption is that the sub-protocol is entirely in control over the remaining 7 bits of frame type octet.

The only concern that I have (and I see that you share this concern) is that this doesn't enable a modular approach to adding features.  It's a bit of all-or-nothing.
