To summarise, so that I'm sure I understand the discussion:
* Servers should allow clients to request extra fields individually
* Servers should allow clients to request packages of extra fields
* Servers should explain the extra fields/packages available
* Servers should not return extra fields without being asked
* Clients may request extra fields at any time
* Client identification is an extra field
* Server identification is:
1. In the explain record
2. An extra field in any response
If so, then that's good, because that's the status quo :)
