Such usage is, in fact, already reserved in the protocol: 4.3.1 The "Void" message Any message with the "Command" value set to "Void" is considered a Void message. Void messages carry no functional information to the higher layers, but can be used to set "Connection" values, and possibly as padding to foil attempts to use traffic analysis on Freenet. Void messages MAY carry a trailing field, which nodes should read, but it MUST NOT be more than 65536 octets in Length. No system for connection padding is defined at this time, so implementations SHOULD NOT use the Void message for that use until such time as it is.
