To really make this work, it would be necessary to expand the
reserved pool gradually, rather than all at once, so that servers
can't hard-code just the initially reserved pool, and still fail
with new "real" extensions later.  Add a new code point every year
for 5-10 years, and eventually servers will have extension tolerance.
