   A presumably very dumb argument from an ignorant: You are apparently   
   modifying a standard and that's generally not a good idea IMHO except   
   though the standardization gremium. I can't strongly argue in the   
   field of data transmission because my knowledge there is extremely   
   poor, but in the presumably akin field of standardization of   
   programming languages I am personally very convinced that any   
   modification of the standard outside of a standardization organization   
   isn't a favourable undertaking for the benefit of the 'entire' user   
   community.
