I strongly support this work.
IMO we need the same work to be done with OSPFv2. Shall it be part
of this document or work on its own is a separate question.
Number of I-Ds submitted against OSPFv2 shows that this version of
the protocol is still being actively worked on and in medium term many
extensions will have to be simultaneously proposed for v2 and v3. Having
Extendable LSAs in both protocol versions would greatly simplify
standardization and development of such extensions.
I have posted a similar comment on the list when I started the SR
extensions for OSPFv2. The consensus at that time was to take the path
of the complimentary Opaque LSAs rather then redefining existing LSAs
types. This has been reflected in the
draft-psenak-ospf-segment-routing-extensions.

I have a few notes on current draft but I do not want to hijack this
thread for technical discussion and better send another email.
Thanks,
Anton

This version includes changes in support of backward compatibility.
Speaking as both a WG chair and author, this document is essential to
OSPFv3 protocol extension. Please indicate your support or objections
by September 30th, 2013.
Thanks,

Abstract:
OSPFv3 requires functional extension beyond what can readily be done
with the fixed-format Link State Advertisement (LSA) as described in
RFC 5340. Without LSA extension, attributes associated with OSPFv3
links and advertised IPv6 prefixes must be advertised in separate
LSAs and correlated to the fixed-format LSA. This document extends
the LSA format by allowing the optional inclusion of Type-Length-
Value (TLV) tuples in the LSAs. Backward compatibility mechanisms
are also described.
Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of
submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
