We already have precedence for this, such as RFC 2833.  In addition, this
feature would only be used if both sides advertise the capabilities, so I do
not expect to see anything break.

This might be true.  Would it be possible to add those parameters as
necessary in the future?  At the moment, the only use for this capability at
the moment is for modem over IP, wherein every payload that will be used is
understood based solely on the capability, I believe-- perhaps I'm wrong.
In any case, the important thing is to know whether the syntax precludes the
specification of additional parameters.

Most definitely.. I would certainly welcome comments and input in the area
of security.
