One additional point. In the lovely little LLSD land that we have, it is
really easy to let extra goo go along with LLSD requests and responses.  If
endpoints start to rely on this extra goo, then effectively we have goo
seeping into what is being used into the protocol, without a mechanism for
defining it explicitly as an extension to the core standard, or without
being defined in the standard.
