I'm not sure about adding new terms, unless there's a protocol for
handling unknown input (and you'd have to ask, what would the difference
be between unknown and incorrect?). Your machine has the new term; mine
does not. Your machine's sending me this stuff mine doesn't understand.
But we're working both working off the same schema as far as the
versioning is concerned. Potentially, a new term is a breaking change.
For example, adding a new verb to HTTP without changing the version,
while not a change to the deployed terms, is a change to HTTP.
