Good point. I guess you are being bitten by the HTTP inability to specify required-to-understand extensions without negotiation. One way to "solve" the problem without modifying your core is to require compliance with the HTTP extensions RFC 2774 or equivalent. That way others can add Source-to-Patch, Patch-Source, and many other headers without modifying the PATCH core. Alex.
