The first row is not even a parameter but a guideline, and the second pertains to testing which seems like it can be incorporated separately.

Agreed. I expect maybe we'll reserve more protocol extensions in the

extension at some point).

Regarding _pq_.[name], I agree with David that I think it would be
better to make that part of the introductory paragraph.
