Not really.

If we are going to have CONTINUATIONs, then either they need to be true
jumbo frames as currently specified (can't be interleaved by anything) OR
they should be fully interleaveable by any other frame.   It is entirely
too complex and fragile to allow continuations to be interleaved by
extension frames but not normal frames.

Although I guess that would allow an extension to be defined that has a
bunch of frame types that are identical to normal frame types, except that
they can be interleaved between continuations when normal ones can't be.

cheers
