Well, even in our case we have to be very careful in the way we do
extensions, take for example the 'ref' proposal that was sent to the list
to define a region (using a polygon), it is in the spatial dimension so in
conflict with xywh. What does
http://www.example.com/foo#xywh=10,20,34,40&ref=http://example.com/shape
mean? Union? Intersection? fallback to xwyh if ref can't be processed?
So just stating that we can allow every possible extension in the grammar
or in the parsing rules is far from being enough, we need to have a high
bar to avoid such conflicts.
