1) the server knows whether or not it should use this method instead

2) the client knows whether the server assumed the client is going to
use them or if the server doesn't expect the client to use them

It may do more harm than good because everyone has a different use case.
Suggestions and examples are more appropriate here (that's what the draft
does by the way).
