I think the mechanism for "negotiation" looks like this:  each side unilaterally declares something (the set of options it supports for a particular extension, say), then each side performs the same calculation and derives the same result (mutually supported values, select most preferred by some measure if a single choice is required).

The implied ACK currently is that neither side is supposed to send until it knows what the other side supports, so if you're seeing bytes on other streams, they know what your settings are.
