Uh, what extensible tags?
We developers listening to this list haven't heard a thing about plans for
extensible tags (or did I miss something?).
If an extensible tag mechanism is going to be part of the next release then
that's great but we would also like to know what's going on.
This is exactly why I asked that a new version of the spec be posted before
a reference implementation is released.
