[AVT] General extensible RTP header extension mechanism

[Dave Singer <singer at apple.com>]

It has been pointed out to me that we ought to discuss the question 
-- do we *want* to make it easy to use the header extension mechanism 
in RTP, in general, non-colliding and yet non-registering ways?  This 
draft permits that; is it desirable?

Obviously, I think so.  But other may differ.  Before the chairs ask 
whether to move this along in Dallas, does anyone else have an 
opinion?
