I think that William Mills already gave the best answer to the extensibility question when he wrote:
"I think removing the auth-param usage is workable.  Then if we need extensibility defining a new scheme can do that.  It's a bit more work that way if needed, but it's clean."

				Best wishes,

Hi Bob, 

the question is only how to provide extensibility then. You are then essentially forced to know, because of pre-arrangements, what the content of the blob is going to be. 

Is that also fine for you?
