So given that we don't want to depend too much on DOM Level 3 Core being
updated I changed it to the following based on group discussion:
Extensions of the APIs defined in this specification
are strongly discouraged. User Agents, Working Groups
and other interested parties should discuss extensions
on a relevant public forum, such as
public-webapi@w3.org.
I think it's the best we can do.
