Thanks for this clarification ; for what it's worth, this is probably
the first time I see "extension" used in this meaning ; are there any
references that could incite us to use this one, rather the one which I
think is more common in W3C?

I think profiles, modules, levels are not considered extensions as long
as they are defined as standards, even in my current understanding of
extensions.
