I'd feel more comfortable with knowing that the extension framing  
(not actual support) was done. Otherwise, any extension mechanism is  
going to smell like a real hack, even if it's possible. I also worry  
about actors seeing extensions and choking on them, whether that's  
intermediaries or whatever. Finally, it's not clear to me if  
extension data needs to be per-message or per-frame - I can't think  
of a per-frame use-case, but still, this effects possible extension  
mechanisms heavily.

It could be my fears are misplaced, of course, and I'm willing to be  
persuaded, but this is my current stance.

Aside from this one issue, this design - or the previous one, in fact  
- are fine with me. I marginally prefer this one, modulo the absence  
of an extension data block.

It'd be useful at this point, though, to produce a new draft  
containing this design, which seems to have broad support if not yet  
actual consensus - ie, this should become the group's current working  
design.
