Yes: go ahead and add to it.

Yes, this value is fine.  (If you expect your extention to evolve and
the frame format to change, one approach is to use a different value
in your initial drafts, e.g 0xFF...D0F, while targeting 0xD0F to be
the final value.)  In any case, do add it to the list to call dibs.
