One of the criticisms of that work was that while rfc4287 allowed the

actually would do anything with them.

that is pretty much par for the course for *any* extension though, right?

Sure, but if you can't find anyone that intends to use your extension (and you need both clients and servers), you have to ask yourself why you're bothering to design it in the first place.

Not that I'm saying that's the case for media extensions. I just don't think you should underestimate the importance of the question: will anyone use this?
