Ok. I wouldn't combine CT/ELS though. I view the library as - it should be as compliant as possible to SNIA so it can be used as a replacement (and granted snia's definition has issues). But, it could certainly contain extras which does more, such as this - although I wouldn't treat it as a vendor extension.
