This is a good idea, even if only an internet draft, as it preserves the semantics of existing implementations while extending the functionality of the spec. > We'll need to think abut discovery of this feature, though.

QSD has been bubbling up on the Catacomb todo list for months now, hopefully we'll be able implement it before the new year. I would strongly favor keeping all discovery mechanisms within the scope of QSD as it will minimize the number of requests necessary to determine the capabilities/features that a given server implements.
