As a co-chair, I'm asking you to try to use as little WG mailing
list bandwidth for this as possible, and to always clearly tag
things in the subject line (as done above).

 From a technical viewpoint, this seems to be an extremely good fit for
an extension.

However, as a co-chair, I know that individual extensions are not the
job of this WG. If you want, please go ahead and write an individual
Internet-Draft. But again, don't bother this list more than necessary,
this is clearly outside the scope  of the current WG.

Regards,     Martin.
