Why?  It's not justified.  That approach would reduce the interop that could
result from a common protocol operating over decoupled services.

I propose the exact opposite:  that the protocol should not seek to make
special cases nor to restrict its applicability, and that local
implementation details (like how many dimensions are possessed by avatars)
be handled locally.  Implementers would then merely perform a local mapping
in their own object handlers, for example a 3D->2D projection handler.
