Sigh.  Implementing this makes me wonder again what's really right --
if we do what I say above, since an extension element can function
either appear in the prologue or in the subpipeline of containers,
that sort of implies that it can function as a crypto-declaration or
crypto-binding as well as a crypto-step.  If so, why not in the
prologue of atomic steps?  What do we imagine extension elements are
_for_ now that we have a documentation sandbox, anyway?  Do we have
_any_ putative examples or use cases to help with this?
