[gwz] 
Actually, I've convinced myself that a) this idea was not quite baked & b) I
was wrong about making the Ext-Type field just one octet.  If we make the
Ext-Type field 16 bits in length _and_ start numbering the new attributes at
0x100, that would seem to solve a couple of problems nicely.

[BA]  Could you elaborate on the new design and the issues this would solve?
