Lynne and I have been looking at various W3C recs and can not find the term "extensions" used in the generic way we're using it. Can you point us to some place where "extensions" are used in that way and perhaps where it's defined. One possibility Lynne and I discussed is to just use "extensibility" and not use, or define, "extensions" (assuming the term is not really used). This approach may lead to less confusion and more precise explanations.
