This draft states that a probing mechanism should be defined to aid backwards compatibility when defining new methods. It describes the mechanism to be used as the UAC adding some header to a standard SIP request. The UAS places some information in the response if it understands this header (and thus the extension-method). Couldn't the OPTIONS method be used to provide such a probing mechanism within the standard SIP framework? The response to an OPTIONS request should include an Allow header entity-field that lists the supported set of headers, including any extension-methods.
