Oh, well, it was and is.. the "Reserved" flags was for future extension,
and it's also relatively trivial to extend TCP with new TCP options. 

That's how we got Window scaling, SACK, Timestamping (Round-trip
measurements and PAWS), ECN, and a bunch of other less known TCP
extensions.

But unlike HTTP TCP extensions is more strictly controlled with more
people keeping a close eye on what is being done.
