Other examples of "tweeking the standard" help you realize that a standard is standard because when you buy the 802.11(x) card/router you expect it to work with the others that you already have. Consequently compatability is more important than propriatary add-ons.

Now, I want to have my motorhome use a "high gain" antenna to capture weak WiFi signals and then repeat them to WiFi laptops around the motorhome. What's the way to implement that?

I wouldn't think there would be proprietary technologies when you're
dealing with 2 standards. Now, some manufacturers will overlay an
authentication or encryption scheme over the top of wifi/wifmax or they
may take the standard and "tweak" it slightly and sell it as
proprietary.
One that comes to mind is "SecNet 11" by Harris. They are marketing a
wireless network link that is based upon the 802.11 standard but they
moved the frequency from 2.4ghz to 8 or 9ghz and laid a proprietary
encryption scheme at layer3/4. I don't know of anyone who's purchased
it yet but the goal is to allow for classifed data transfer over
