Dear DanC
Thanks for your comments on the Last Call version of the QA Framework:
Specification Guidelines[0] - 22 November 2004
Original comment[1]
As a response to the proposal, the QA Working Group decided to include
in its Good Practice regarding extensibility mechanisms a technique
[2] on
this topic:

consider that can affect design decisions include, but are
definitely
not limited to, the following topics [...]
* Avoid "untested hooks": if an extensibility mechanism is defined,
make sure it is well tested during the implementation phase;
experience has shown that untested extensibility just doesn't work
